Nickname: Dave Dude

Background -
          
I'VE BEEN A GARAGE PLAYER UP UNTIL LAST YEAR WHEN I MET THE CELL. ALWAYS STAYED AROUND HOME JUST PRACTICING AND PLAYING MUSIC WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. AFTER MEETING THE BOYS IN THE BAND, I REALIZED HOW MUCH OF A RUSH IT IS TO PLAY WITH ESTABLISHED MUSICIANS. THE BETTER THE PEOPLE YOU PLAY WITH, THE BETTER YOU BECOME.

Influences -

NORTH HOLLYWOOD U.A., MIDNITE SHOW, SONG REMAINS THE SAME. A LOT OF MY STYLE CAME FROM JIMMY PAGE. ALSO TO MENTION TRIUMPH, VAN HALEN, DREAM THEATER, BOSTON, AND ABOUT A HUNDRED MORE.

Equipment -

MY MAIN AXE IS A 69' LES PAUL DELUXE WITH SEYMOUR DUNCANS. OTHERS INCLUDE A 81 DESTROYER, LATE 90's DEAN "V", 1995 OVATION LIMITED EDITION, A MANDOLIN AND JAZZ BASS. SOUND COMES THROUGH A CARVIN LEGACY COMBO, WITH MATCHING 4-12 CABINET. I'VE GONE BACK TO BASICS ON EFFECTS WITH A OLD IBANEZ CHORUS, DELAY UNIT, AND ORIGINAL CRY-BABY. I ALSO LIKE TO HAMMER ON THE D-70.

Special Thanks -
