About Me

David Jones is often described both here and abroad as being one of the most innovative and musical drummers in the world. His mesmerising drum solos are dramatic, humorous, surprising and powerful. David creates a universe of sounds, textures and rhythms that take you through different cultures, ages, moods and styles.


To see David Jones in action is to witness a wizard weaving spells, a master at work achieving the seemingly impossible. His arms move in fluid Tai-Chi-like motions, his face is relaxed and transmitting his joy to the audience, and if you closed your eyes, you would swear there were at least 2 drummers on stage.

David plays from a totally relaxed attitude of mind and body. He is an innovator and catalyst of energy, driven by a joyful spirit of play and emotional intensity.
David's music will move you, astound you, energize you, make you laugh, take you into your own world of feelings, and make you think and feel quite differently about drums and percussion.

Since 1985 David has enriched his sounds with the inner silence that he finds through meditation.

The Hour of Nectar
Meditation music with the healing sounds of Tibetan, Japanese and quartz crystal singing bowls. Recorded at the special meditation time of 4am. This music has been described as profoundly peaceful and extremely relaxing.

Meditations on Love
This beautiful recording examines the state of love and unity using a wide variety of musicians and instrumentation. The recording of this album was facilitated by Brahma Kumari meditation techniques upon each of the themes.

Intuition
Daring to be different, The David Jones Trio was recorded at a history-making live concert at Allan Eaton's Studios. The concert, recorded live to tape, includes the audience on clapping and vocal improvising! The David Jones Trio is: David Jones on drums/percussion, Evripides Evripidou on bass and effects & Bob Sedergreen on keys.

Peaceful
This is a collection of dreamy guided visualisations with beautiful music, using imagery from Nature to create a very deep and lovely feeling of peace. Please visit again soon as we will be uploading the rest of this collection over the coming months.

AtmaSphere: The Peace Tracks
AtmaSphere was an ambient - jazz - fusion ensemble of the nineties. In this collection we are including all the peaceful tracks, which includes some of David's percussion instrumentals and some spoken word meditations with groove.

Shimmer
Shimmer was our recording band of the late nineties. Bright popsongs with uplifting lyrics containing spiritual themes. Kids get a lot out of these songs.

The Sounds of Peace
This collection reflects the Sounds of Peace concert that I perform with Carmen Warrington as a duo. The concerts are usually quite dreamy and meditative, but we also include a few of our "peace-rap songs" which are a bit more lively. We tell audiences they can expect to float home afterwards! We'll upload more tracks over the coming months, but currently you can find here the very popular peace-rap "Who am I?".
