About
The Musical Drummer – powerful and dynamic David is often described both here and abroad as being one of the most innovative and musical drummers in the world. His mesmerising drum solos are dramatic, humorous, surprising and powerful. In the hands (and feet) of David Jones, the drum kit comes alive as a mini-orchestra, vaudeville act, rhythmic explosion and hypnotic trance-inducer, all in one. Using sticks, brushes, mallets, fingers, elbows, violin bow, dish-mops, toys, brooms and any percussion he can lay his hands on, David creates a universe of sounds, textures and rhythms that take you through different cultures, ages, moods and styles. Imaginative, innovative, intuitive – an individual David is a man with a unique musical vision. He draws from all aspects of his life and spirituality to create a powerfully individual, articulate and imaginative style. With his “whisper to roar” dynamics, seamless technique and mastery of multi-layered polyrhythms, David is one of Australia’s virtuoso musicians.
