Ilan Rubin (born July 7, 1988) is an American musician, best known for being former drummer of Lostprophets. He is currently the drummer for other bands such as the industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails, alternative rock supergroup Angels & Airwaves and most recently Paramore.[1] He also has his own solo project called The New Regime.
Still at the age of 11, he submitted a video to Modern Drummer Magazine, taken of him doing a solo during an F.o.N. performance, which was picked by the magazine as the winning entry in its "Best Undiscovered Drummer Under the Age of 18" contest. The winner of the 18-and-over category came from Argentina, and both drummers were invited to perform at the 2000 Modern Drummer Festival, by which time Ilan had turned 12. He has taken lessons from Blink-182's drummer Travis Barker and David Uosikkinen, drummer of famed 1980s band, The Hooters. He is also an accomplished guitarist and classical pianist.
In February 2013, Reznor announced the return of Nine Inch Nails and revealed tour details. He also revealed that the new lineup of the band includes Rubin, Eric Avery of Jane's Addiction, Adrian Belew of King Crimson, and Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv, as well as returning member Alessandro Cortini.[3]

Childhood and early life
Rubin grew up in Bonita, CA, a suburb of San Diego adjacent to Chula Vista, CA. He began playing drums at the age of 8, when he discovered his father's 1968 Silver Sparkle Ludwig drum kit set up in the garage. After three months of "toying" with the kit, he had taught himself to play and was jamming with his older brothers and by the age of 9 was ready to play for F.o.N., a band that eventually would do three stints on the Vans Warped Tour, where, in addition to playing with F.o.N. Ilan would fill-in on drums with bands such as NOFX. In 1999, F.o.N. opened Woodstock on the "Emerging Artist Stage" and, as a result, 11-year-old Ilan gained entry into the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest musician to ever play on a Woodstock stage.[2]Still at the age of 11, he submitted a video to Modern Drummer Magazine, taken of him doing a solo during an F.o.N. performance, which was picked by the magazine as the winning entry in its "Best Undiscovered Drummer Under the Age of 18" contest. The winner of the 18-and-over category came from Argentina, and both drummers were invited to perform at the 2000 Modern Drummer Festival, by which time Ilan had turned 12. He has taken lessons from Blink-182's drummer Travis Barker and David Uosikkinen, drummer of famed 1980s band, The Hooters. He is also an accomplished guitarist and classical pianist.
Recording career
Prior to Lostprophets
Immediately prior to working with Lostprophets, Ilan was the drummer for the band Denver Harbor, which included his older brother, Aaron, as bassist, who had played guitar in F.o.N.; as well as 2 ex-members of the punk band Fenix*TX. Denver Harbor was dropped from their label 1 year after their only full length album, Scenic, was released in 2004 but not before the band did a few round-trip tours of the United States and one week in Japan with a re-united Fenix TX.Lostprophets (2006–2008)

Ilan was the drummer
for the Welsh band Lostprophets (although he is American). He replaced
Mike Chiplin, founding member and original drummer, who left the band in
2005 to pursue other musical opportunities. Before finding Rubin,
Lostprophets hired session drummer Josh Freese to record the tracks on Liberation Transmission. Then, after Ilan joined, he played the remaining two tracks on Liberation Transmission:
"For All These Times Son, For All These Times" and "Everybody's
Screaming!!!". The drummer on the demos for this period are unclear with
all tracks, depending on the time the demos were made, potentially
being recorded by either ex-drummer Mike Chiplin, frontman Ian Watkins
(who occasionally plays drums in demos) or Ilan. Either Rubin or Freese
may have recorded the B-Side, "Every Song", which comes from the album
sessions. Rubin, however, toured from 2006-2008 with the band and
appeared in the videos for "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)", "A Town Called Hypocrisy", "Can't Catch Tomorrow (Good Shoes Won't Save You This Time)" and "4:AM Forever".
He left the band in late 2008 but not before he tracked all of the
drums and helped pen some of the music on the band's fourth studio
release "The Betrayed".The New Regime (2007–present)
