Dave duMonde is an accomplished drummer and percussionist, having played with many artists from around the world. He's a master of the groove with a back beat that has an electrifying punch. "Drummy" has filled the chair in every style: jazz, gospel, R&B, hiphop, reggae, soca, zouk, latin, rock and pop. He also brings his knowledge of rhythms and cultures to school, teaching kids, teens and adults all aspects of music with the beat of the drum as a foundation.
Dave began his life adventure in music at age three, playing percussion with legendary Smithsonian folk singer Ella Jenkins. He began formal training on piano at age eight and began learning drums in his school music program at age nine. He went on to receive a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in music.
Life as a teacher is equally important. In addition to his busy playing schedule, he teaches middle school music at Larchmont Charter School in LosAngeles,CA.
