He is phenomenal, nobody else can do what David does with the drums - it’s amazing.
James Morrison
International artist

David Jones is, in my opinion, one of the greatest, most natural, musicians on the planet. His musicianship is mesmerising and captivating - I’ve always felt he was in a class of his own.
Tommy Emmanuel,
International artist

It is rare in the Percussion industry to meet someone whose personality and artistic talent are equalled ... at the highest standard. David is: entertaining, powerful, articulate, creative, positive, dedicated, humorous, humble, explosive, sensitive, serene. He contributes highly to Art and Humanity. Musically, always expect the unexpected! All this embodied in the person and artist of David Jones.
Dom Famularo
USA/International Drum Clinician and Sabian Education Director, 1997

I think he is taking drumming to another level. What he has done with his concept of time and being able to feel perfectly ... five over two or this over that ... it’s not just check out this polyrhythm, it’s the music is written with polyrhythms in mind. He was astounding today [Koblenz Drummers Meeting, March 96]

David Jones is unique and marvellous

I have had the pleasure and honour of touring many international artists, and David Jones is in a league of his own.
Frank Corniola
Australia’s leading Drum Entrepreneur

David is a really great player, and I have to say that David, Trilok [Gurtu] and Dennis Chambers are the only drummers that for me are playing REALLY interesting drum solos. And I love the comedy aspect.
Scott Henderson
Top US fusion guitarist

His variety, complexity, power and accuracy is comparable with that of Billy Cobham.
