    About Daniel B.

    5.0
    (1)
    Hey there! I'm a Freelance Drummer/Percussionist based in New York City with a Master's Degree in Jazz Studies from Philadelphia's University of the Arts. ​ Currently, I substitute on drums/percussion for multiple Broadway shows including Hamilton, Moulin Rouge, Book of Mormon, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, and Mean Girls. I'm also a member of the piano trio, T-Shirt Tuxedo, with Singer/Pianist Brandon James Gwinn and Bassist Jeff Koch. In the recent past, I originated the drum book for the Off-Broadway musical "Ride The Cyclone," helped in the development of the Broadway-bound musical "Lempicka," starring Eden Espinosa and Amber Iman, written by Matt Gould and Carson Kreitzer, and directed by Rachel Chavkin, and I've performed with various well-known artists, including: Trixie Mattel, Rumer Willis, Rob McClure, and the Jenny Leigh Miller Band. You can hear me playing drums on Trixie Mattel's "Two Birds/One Stone” and Brandon James Gwinn's "Not Too Late" albums.
