BACKGROUND
David has been playing the drums since age six. As a seasoned professional, he brings a very musical orientation to his drumming. He colors the sound with finesse and sensitivity while simultaneously offering serious groove. He is extremely versatile and performs many styles of music including jazz, funk, afro-cuban, hip hop, country, shuffle, swing, raggae, rock, samba, to name just a few. He says, "Listening is key to letting you know where and how to compliment a group's sound. Its about understanding the emotional intent of the music and then merging that with the personality of the other performers."
He performs with RazzaMoJazz, The Rogue Suspects, Heart & Soul, and various other freelance assignments. To listen to Heart & Soul click: Audio & Video Clips .
