Audition and References upon request.
Born into a military family in 1961 and raised in two countries - this exposed Dave to different styles of music, in particular, the Blues. At age 8 or 9 he heard Howlin' Wolf and it felt like coming home.
Starting with formal training gave him the basics to draw on today. Large "Pockets" and steady Grooves... No flash here just keepin' the band in line.
After doing journeyman's duty drumming around Texas, opening for the likes of John Lee Hooker, Room Full of Blues and Canned Heat, Dave brought his Blues to the Motor City.
Quickly establishing a reputation as a solid player he found work with George "Wild Child" Butler,
Johnny "yard dog" Jones, and Motor City Josh. His list of Credits also include Garfield Angove, Kenny Parker, Curtis Sumter, Paul Carrey, The Dave Fair Four, Al Hill, The ButlerTwins, Harmonica Shaw and James Cloyd.

Matt Williams and Larry Siefers, The Mystic Nights, and Craig King.

Vater Sticks, Remo & Aquarian heads, and Zildjian Cymbals.
