Let's rock and roll together and turn drumsticks into magic wands. Get ready for some epic beats!
Greetings, rhythm enthusiasts! I'm dave, a professional drummer with a knack for keeping the beat, cracking a joke, and occasionally breaking a drumstick or two. With a passion for both performing and teaching, I've managed to hit the high notes (and the low toms) in my career, having toured with two major labels and played in more bands than I can count on my drumsticks.
My musical journey has taken me from smoky jazz clubs to stadium rock shows, and along the way, I've had the pleasure of working with some of the industry's best. Whether it’s laying down tracks in the studio or sharing the stage with amazing artists, I live for the thrill of the performance and the joy of a well-executed drum fill.
But my passion doesn't stop at performing; I love passing on the rhythm to the next generation of drummers. When I'm not on stage or in the studio, you can find me in the classroom, sharing tips, tricks, and probably a few dad jokes with my students. I believe in the power of music to change lives, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a student master a challenging piece (or just nail their first paradiddle).
So, if you're looking for a drummer who can keep the beat, tell a tale, and teach with enthusiasm, look no further. Let’s make some noise together!

I love playing drums in this band! I’m also given the opportunity and my ideas and input are shared and fold it in! As drummers were good natural born leaders. I get to flick some of those muscles as well!
