He currently
plays with rock legend Ritchie Blackmore in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Blackmore's
Night (blackmoresnight.com). The duo has released three albums and is currently finishing their fourth. They tour regularly on both US coasts.

Over the course of his decades-long career, David has toured the United States and Europe with numerous acts including Connecticut swing and R&B icons Eight to the Bar, the dynamic progressive rock group Mighty Purple, and singer-songwriter Daphne Lee Martin. He also enjoys working as a session and touring drummer, most recently with indie acts Wall of Ears and Omega Vague.

David has designed and built custom drum hardware platform systems made entirely of
reclaimed and recycled materials for his Mission Zero and Rainbow/Blackmore's Night drum okits. He has also experimented with his Bliss series cymbals, giving them an additional patina to mellow and 'age' them, while providing a distinctive and organic-looking weathered appearance. In addition to Dream Cymbals, he also endorses Aquarian Drumheads.

His Dream cymbals of choice are from both the Dark Matter and Bliss series.
