stuff. And I know exactly how: I started
playing the drums. Drums are my muse.
They’re my Yoda. When I was in
middle school, the high school jazz
band came and performed for us, and I
thought that the coolest one by a long
shot was the kid playing the drum set.
To me, drummers were kind of like athletes,
but musical athletes, and I loved
music.”
At first, for David, drumming was
mostly about social validation; he
stopped getting kicked out of parties by
jocks twice his size. But soon it became
something much deeper: “I suddenly
realized this was a form of creative expression,
and it totally blew my mind. I
was fifteen. That’s when I became committed
to sticking with it. My entire life
changed because of my drums, and it
hasn’t stopped, to this day.”
