ABOUT

My name is David and I play bass.
IG: thumb_bass_guy

Background: I have been involved in music my entire life.

I took piano lessons as a child for 2 years. During my middle school years, I played the alto saxophone in band. In high school, I discovered my passion for metal/heavier music. I played drums in high school for 3 years. I started playing guitar in senior year of high school. In college, I took lessons for a year with Pebber Brown (taught Buckethead) in Claremont. I played guitar for 10 years until I switched to bass.

I have been playing bas now for 4 years. I have been taking formal lessons for 2 years now with Jacob Umansky of Intervals.

Techniques that I utilize in my playing:

Finger Style Plucking
Slap
Double Thumb
Selective Picking w/ Slap
Tapping 2H
Pick

I am able to read and write music in standard notation and tablature. I learn music by ear. I use Ableton to record my compositions. I am able to write/record all instruments except for vocals in my own home studio.

I am looking for other professional musicians who would like to collaborate in either:

Original music - I am able to be contribute as a songwriter
Covers - Wedding/Corporate bands

Style: main genre that I listen to and/or prefer to play is Djent or Death Metal

I am interested in gigs, not jams.

I am professional. I will show up on time with my own gear with any before-mentioned set lists learned. I am ready to gig.
