David Strayer, an incredibly versatile and extremely musical drummer. His keen understanding of the sensibilities needed to bring to life so many different kinds of music, like a hard hitting rock tune, a controlled pop song, or a jazz flavored instrumental piece, makes him the drummer of choice for so many people. His musicality, knowledge, and authenticity with the drums makes his voice strong and unique. He knows exactly what is needed to bring the music to its highest point.
Jeff Ballard (chick corea, ray charles, pat metheney, lionel louke brad mehldau)


Howdy there! Im Michael Leasure and I am the touring and recording drummer for Walter Trout for over 8 years now and have also played with Edgar Winter, Buddy Miles and many other artists. I have known David Strayer for well over 20 years now. We have worked closely and played together in many diverse and challenging musical environments. He is absolutely hands down one of my favorite drummers. He has his own and inimitable style and a great work ethic. He could play anything with anybody anywhere ... a monster among us.
