About
DameTheDrummer is becoming a well-known name in the music industry. Respected for his eclectic drumming ability, agressive pocket and feel, Dame is also a well versed producer. A self-taught instrumentalist and producer, Dame hails from a musically inclined family and has been playing the drums since the age of 4. His style has been compared to the deep pocket of Steve Jordan and ?uest Love with a shot of Chris "Daddy" Dave.
The singer-songwriter-producer-musician is extremely versatile. You’ll hear influences of a variety of musical genres such as Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock, and Gospel. His all-around eclectic style has landed him performances in every happening venue in and around his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio and beyond Including a 2013 Coachella appearance with DåM FunK. His work has landed him session and production work with Sarah's Girl, Alvin Frazier and Conya Doss to name a few. He is currently the drummer for San Fransisco based indie/pop/electro/hiphop band Le VICE. With the same ear for music beyond his drumming abilities Dame is no stranger to a pair of Technics 1200's as he also loves spin in front of music enthusiasts. As the CEO of Sweaty Llama Music you can catch a diverse display of DameTheDrummer's production, arrangement and vocal talent on his self-produced solo album entitled "BREATHE"
“I make music because I have to release the beauty that goes on upstairs. Music makes me come alive. I truly believe that it is a gift from the good Lord,” Dame humbly remarked about his talent.
