David Jones is one of the world’s great drummer/percussionists and one of Australia’s virtuoso musicians. He is taking the art of drumming and percussion to a new level with his solo concerts.
David is often described both here and abroad as being one of the most innovative and musical drummers in the world. His mesmerizing drum solos are dramatic, humorous, surprising and powerful.
In the hands (and feet) of David Jones, the drum kit comes alive as a mini-orchestra, vaudeville act, rhythmic explosion and hypnotic trance-inducer, all in one. Using sticks, brushes, mallets, fingers, elbows, violin bow, dish-mops, toys, brooms and any percussion he can lay his hands on, David creates a universe of sounds, textures and rhythms that take you through different cultures, ages, moods and styles. [Taken from davidjonesdrums.com]
David’s brilliant career of over 45 years, spans all types of music, playing with some of the greatest musicians in every style. From John Farnham to James Morrison, Dragon to Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Don McLean to John Denver, Kate Miller-Heidke to Tommy Emmanuel, from WDR Big Band to John Williams, Crossfire and the legendary Pyramid.
