David Myers Jr.David Myers Jr born Sept 28th,1992, is a professional drummer from Johnstown PA now based in Los Angeles. David's first memory of picking up drum sticks goes all the way back to a young kid at the age of 2. He, like many other drummers, got his start from beating on pots, pans, and anything else he could find that would make noise. |
David was introduced to music at a young age due to his dad being a minister and his mom being a secretary at church. This lead to music becoming a big part of his life .
Throughout his childhood he would find any chance he could to play! That would range from playing at church, local groups, school concerts, marching bands, jazz bands, indoor percussion groups, etc.
After graduation High School in 2011, David decided to pack up and move to Los Angeles to attend Musicians Institute College of Music. Here he graduated with an Associates Degree as well as the Outstanding Player Award. He credits his time at Musicians Institute as playing a big part on the forging of his sound, and landing his first professional gig as the tour drummer for Grammy Award winning artist Frank Ocean.
Since then David has gone on to work with artists such as Zayn Malik (One Direction), 6lack, Raury, Norwegian duo Lemaitre. He has also recorded drums for R&B artist Jhene Akio. David’s goal is to aspire to inspire!
