Dave picked up his first sticks aged eight; a decade later he was playing in the local area with the region’s top unsigned acts. 8 years and a host of live shows under his belt (and at the time a semi professional teacher), Dave joined his first signed band Bal-Sagoth, a Sheffield based symphonic black metal band, where he learned the joys of speed and extreme metal drumming,
After recording 2 full length albums and embarking on several european tours Dave left Bal-Sagoth to join Dragonforce. Now, 6 years on, with 5 full world tours, 2 albums and a mass of music videos under his belt (not to mention a mini tour of drum clinics recently), Dave is on a break from touring, and is looking forward to drum clinics in 2010.
