David has a very unique style to his playing which has developed through his extensive experience of drum solo performances. As a drummer he has performed in festival, street, and event settings throughout the world including the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Africa.

He has studied and, continues to study, many musical genres and plays a broad range of styles including Break Beat, Latin, African, Funk, Drum and Bass, Hip Hop and Jazz. David is also an advocate to the on-going theoretical and practical teachings of Benny Greb’s “Language Of Drumming” system.

David also spent one year travelling throughout remote communities and villages in Malawi, Africa where he learnt the invaluable roots of traditional Malawian music and culture, which he now improvises into his playing. Whilst in Africa he also played at festivals, schools, youth centres, orphanages and clubs.

David can teach anything from basic drumming techniques to the development of solo drumming performances and the creation of original drum parts for a variety of band and musical situations. He focuses on how the student can express their musical feelings through the medium of drums and percussion using disciplined structure, practice, composition and improvisation, which can assist the student at any level.

David continues to dedicate his own study to Benny Greb’s “Language of Drumming” system. Containing a wealth of drumming information, he places a great deal of importance on the use of this book and it’s abundance of techniques and teachings for all styles of musical situations.

Above all, there are many ways to learn and play an instrument…David has his own original spin on both.
