About David

To see David Jones in action is to witness a wizard weaving spells, a master at work achieving the seemingly impossible. His arms move in fluid Tai-Chi-like motions, his face is relaxed and transmitting his joy to the audience, and if you closed your eyes, you would swear there were at least 2 drummers on stage.

Introducing David Jones

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.

How I began

At the age of ten or eleven, I began a quest to find as many sounds as I possibly could from paint cans, old kitchen pots and various household items and implements. Nothing much has changed!

Inspiring others

David Jones is more than just a highly aclaimed musician, he also has that rare ability to inspire others. Much of this is accomplished through his playing, but he also finds time for one-on-one teaching, workshops and masterclasses.
