ABOUT

Hello, I'm Dave. I've been playing drums since 2000. I can play a small amount of bass, and ultra minimal guitar. Drums are where my heart is though. I'm married, and a father of 2. I'm a dedicated christian, and have been playing in church worship bands for several years now. I toured full time with the band The Ending Up and played about 150 shows over roughly 20 states between 2006-2008. We toured extensively with the band Me In Motion (founded by Grammy and Dove award winning producer Seth Mosley). I play to a click track for most everything and have extensive experience with backtracks. With all that being said, i'm looking to join and existing band, but could consider starting something new. I'm still hoping that music could be my career, but need to make sure it’s gone about in the right way. Given the fact that I have a family, I'd love to start local, and see what kind of waves we can create! However, I’d love to tour full time given the right opportunity. Any other questions? I'm not a paid member, so shoot me an email at thealmightyandpowerfuldave at Gee-male (see what i did there?) dot com. Thanks!

Here's a few bands I've had the privilege of sharing the stage with: Five Iron Frenzy, Royal Tailor, Manic Drive, B. Reith, House of Heroes, Phil Stacey (American Idol), Me In Motion, The Great Transparency, Mushroomhead, Day of Fire, Ever Burning Bright, and many others.

A few bands I've been a part of: The Ending Up, Linwood, Safekept, Blind Paradox, Westerly Park, Norlina, The Legacy Motown Revue, Red Letter Rising

And Bands I've filled in for: Dreamkiller, GameBreax
