Born and raised in the San Francisco bay area, David began playing drums in elementary school at the age of ten. At age seventeen, he started his professional career, and in 1966 joined the United States Air Force where he became a member
of the 724th USAF band stationed at McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, Washington.
Upon leaving the military in 1969, he returned to the bay area and in July of 1970 joined the legendary Tower of Power. It was in this setting that David became one of the most influential drummers of his generation and became known as an innovator
in funk drumming.
As a writer and performer David has worked with such artists as Patti Austin, Natalie Cole, Mickey Hart's Planet Drum, Boz Scaggs, The BBC Orchestra, Gino Vannelli, Talking Drums, The Buddy Rich Orchestra, Ray Obiedo, Wishful Thinking, and many
others.
Currently, David is once again performing and recording with the Tower of Power. In
1998, after an eighteen year "break", he rejoined the group for some "unfinished
business".

But wait, there's more! This package also includes 2 BONUS DVD-ROM'S with instrumental versions of these tracks in file formats that can be looped and or slowed down, using software programs like Acid and Garageband and remixed, using multi-track studio software, such as ProTools, Cakewalk, or Nuendo for further exploration and study.
