Independent/Beyond the Gig (Teaching Seminar) |
|
NATIONALITY: USA
EDUCATION: Luther College BA's in Percussion Performance and Communication Studies CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Danny worked with Jerry Lewis, Rupert Holmes and Marvin Hamlisch on the Nashville preview of the Nutty Professor Musical. (Danny notes that Jerry Lewis commented several times on how great his drums sounded!) His TreeHouse drums have been on stage with Lorna Luft and Ann Hampton Callaway. He also played his current TreeHouse kit with Brian May of QUEEN. That same kit was featured on a Modern Drummer blog, DRUM! blog, and Vic Firth's Priority Access. |
Not only do the drums sound absolutely incredible, but you can also get a kit that is completely designed by you for a fraction of the price most companies charge while dealing with some of the nicest drum makers and PEOPLE you could ever find!! I will NEVER go anywhere else for a drum set!
BIOGRAPHY: Danny holds a double B.A. in percussion performance and communication studies from Luther College. After an amazing 11 months on the road with the national tour of 'Queen's 'We Will Rock You', Danny has recently relocated back to Nashville where he has jumped into a variety of session work, and has also started working with a number of new and established artists.
Prior to 'We Will Rock You', Danny was the drummer and drum book composer on the new Broadway bound show, 'The Nutty Professor'; working with Jerry Lewis, Rupert Holmes and the late, great Marvin Hamlish. He also toured on Green Day's 'American Idiot', Mel Brooks 'Young Frankenstein the Musical', with the 80's hair band Nelson, country artist Katie Armiger, The Platters, Derryl Perry, has made back-line appearances on NBC's SMASH!, was the debut drummer of 'Chicago' and 'Hairspray on the worlds largest cruise ships Oasis and Allure of the Seas and has many drum students. Danny has also made one time appearances with Shania Twain, Liza Minnelli, Ann Hampton Callaway, Lorna Luft, The Drifters, The Four Tops, Maureen McGovern, Andrea Clearfield and many more…
In addition to touring, Danny has also started a seminar with fellow drummer and friend, Danny Taylor, called 'Beyond the Gig'. The program focuses on the business, networking and promotion side of the music industry. By touching on topics that go beyond just "playing", it offers students the knowledge and direction they need to be one step ahead of the game. Danny hopes to see some of you out there on the road sometime soon.
