ABOUT

David Rolin Bio: PERCUSSION/VOCALS

Veteran percussionist, David Rolinâ??s fifty years experience has created a wellspring of influences that have shaped his unique style today. His arrival to the Portland music community 20 years ago marked the beginning of his hard-hitting tribal rock sound. His affection for afro-funk influences results in a greasy, voodoo sound that you can cut with a knife. Rolin was one of Gypsy Caravan's original members and has gone on to play with Sumo, The Rotating Leslies, Munkitung, Full Brazil, and Dhomba, to name but a few. He has played countless local venues from Satyricon to The Schnitz.

Rolinâ??s choice of visceral, ethnic beats delivered with a decided urban attitude never fails to create an exciting rhythmic narrative.
