I am starting up my drumming school: Dave's Drumming Academy. I will be teaching next door to
Steve Forrest's Music Store, at Tuggerah. This is close proximity to a train station, shopping centre and a variety of fast food
restaurants, so a great location! Stay tuned for prices and lesson times.

A few items of interest: Firstly, I will be entering the studio on a couple of occasions this month to record the
Sandbox Theory's latest album. This time the drums will all be 100% played by me, instead of me playing a few spots
to enhance the sound of a drum machine.
Secondly, I am looking into starting up a teaching school around the Charmhaven area, as soon as I get some more
details, and find a location.
I will also be uploading a new photo of my pending setup soon, as I will be adding a few more toys to the arsenal!
Furthermore, please check out my YouTube Channel
if you haven't already. I update it infrequently with videos of my drumming, and will also soon upload a video I made to
demonstrate how to make a DIY aux-hihat holder using a cheap bassdrum beater :).

I am now taking students for drum lessons in the Woy Woy area on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday mornings.
All styles, ages and skill levels catered for. Costs start at $30 for individual lessons and $27/week for 4 lesson bookings.

Wow, it has been a while since my last update! Recently, a few things have come up. I will be going into the
studio to record for the Sandbox project soon. We will be recording a 6 track EP which will only be available on CD.
The second item of news is that I have joined
Illusion of Despair! We will be playing
at the Sydney Blackstump Festival on Saturday 3rd October, so it would be great to see you there!

Thanks to everyone who was able to come along and support me (and the other drummers). I didn't get a place this year,
but at least now I can get back to my regular practise schedule and get my band up and running,
and that's definitely something I want you all to look forward to! I have embedded a video further down the page.

I got through to the finals of the Billy Hyde Drummers Playoffs. The finals for the Senior Secondary
and Open divisions will be held on the 28th Sept. at the Australian Institute of Music at 17/51 Foveaux St, Sydney at approximately 10:30am.
I have also created a Facebook page, and a Facebook event. Please see the link on the left.

Here's the video I've promised! Recording was done at the Beat Industry Live concert. I apologise for the low quality sound!
In other news, my band is becoming established, and I've also been asked to be involved with another project.
I will have a link added here soon, please stay tuned!
Please remember to add me on Myspace!
