Dave

Drummer & Rhythmic Force, creating explosive beats that drive the band's sonic journey.

The Rhythmic Backbone

Dave is the rhythmic backbone of Jellytoes, blending a jam-centered feel with a heavy rock influence. His drumming style rides the edge of chaos while maintaining a hypnotic groove that forms the foundation of the band's sound.

Dave is a master of the kit, combining technical prowess with an intuitive feel for the music. Dave doesn't just play drums; he commands them, creating an experience that drives Jellytoes forward with energy and soul.

"Drumming isn't about keeping time—it's about creating a conversation between the instruments. Every hit tells a story."

His talent is undeniable—and his stage presense is so powerful, that he has been banned from at least three wine bars in college towns across the southeast. His playing so electrifying that the young women in attendance often charge the stage, surrounding him in a percussive frenzy.

When not on stage with Jellytoes, Dave can be found in his practice space, developing new rhythmic patterns and exploring the boundaries of percussion. His dedication to his craft is evident in every performance, where his explosive energy and precise timing create an unforgettable experience.
