I love most styles but I do have a real soft spot for classic rock, blues, jazz, country, and world music. Electric, acoustic, nylon string… I’m an equal opportunity musician! I used to play lots of sessions in LA and eventually started RebbeSoul which put me on the cover of Billboard magazine, landed me a full episode on CNN International, and one of my albums went to #1 on the college radio charts.

David brings the same enthusiasm to his teaching that he did as a ten-year-old building his first drum set from boxes, cans, and sticks. He performs rock, pop, blues, jazz, reggae and opera. He also volunteers in Oakland public schools helping students adversely affected by music education cutbacks. Most recently, David started Garage Mahal in his Oakland neighborhood, an ensemble which has grown into a nine-piece band. David inspired his students to do their best by reinforcing their passion for drumming in a calm and fun environment. He also sets short term goals that build students' confidence and skills and keep them wanting to learn.
