Dave The engine to the music of WEDDG. Dave is a percussionist with a dedication to his craft that knows no equal. shrugging the drum solo glory that other rock drummers normally pursue, Dave has focused his technique into the art of rudimentary theory. This makes the drum driven dependencies that many other rock and metal bands make use of (and are all to well known for adhering too) a non-practiced style for WEDDG. Instead of the percussion being used to fill a void in the music, for WEDDG it becomes an accentuation of the music, yet holds true to its purpose, making for a defined, yet chaotic experience.         biography

Rock, for Dave, was a spectator sport while growing up, it always interested him; but it wasn't until after his high school years that he would take up percussion. When Greg sought to start up WEDDG and gathered up a few close friends to do it with, Dave was nominated for the drums, a position he once was unsure about, now serves as a way of life for him. Dave creates and learns more and more even still to this day, as he pushes forward with WEDDG.

Dave has been working on his own software driven side project. During the process of writing material in WEDDG, songs gets shuffled aside and turns are taken by each member writing and rewriting songs to fit the structure of the band. This means that when any given member of the band writes a song it may not make it to stage or CD purely by time constraint and deviation of style. Dave had compiled over the years, countless tracks and song ideas by which he deemed needed a place. This place is called, Slice of Human. 

Dave's chief inspiration is life. Whether it be his own, someone else's, or a fabricated reality. His inspirations and influences lends a typically downbeat style to WEDDG which when spliced into the metal driven guitar work
