Dan has been tapping on benchtops from the age of eight, ever since his dad taught him the paradiddle. However it was not until later on into his musical career that he landed fully into the world of drumming. 

 
Teenage years were spent singing and playing guitar in various metal bands with friends, with the additional fill-ins on bass where needed. It wasn't until Dan met Elly, and the pair formed Mannequin Death Squad (MDS) when the sticks would be picked up again.

 

Fast forward six years and you may have seen Dan thrashing a drum kit with an animal like fury across several continents. You can see him drum at a MDS show near you.
