HELP MY ROCKING BAND THE EVANGENITALS GET TO SCOTLAND!!!
David Hurlin, bald minimalist, devotee of Lord Shiva, and funky as a spoon in a garbage disposal is known for his frightening dynamic range. From his barely audible Wal-Mart dusters to his thunderous tribal mallet romp parades, Hurlin rakes the whole spectrum of human emotion, like panning a river full of gold nuggets with a spelunking head lamp.
David has honed, and is continually in the process of honing his wildly eclectic style. He has toured the midwest with his free-funk jazz trio The Apocalypso Tantric Boys Choir of Memphis. Parallel to the Boys Choir Hurlin co-founded, funk band Spermwhale where he got into hip-hop, didgridoo, Reeds Ginger Brew, early morning Kung-Fu, singing rounds, and tabla.
After graduating from Maharishi University of Management with a BFA in photography and a minor in the Indian Classical Music known as Gandharva Veda, David moved to New Delhi where he continued his studies of tabla with his Guru, Anup Ghoshji. In 2007 Anupji and David performed together for the first time in a riveting drum set v. tabla battle.
After the birth of his son Dil Mondrian Hurlin, David joined the Jefferson County Green Band and toured the mid west again, playing biker rallies, casinos, racetracks, riverside bars, and festivals getting schooled in his local hillbilly culture and developing a fierce Folsom Prison train chug, and a showstopping hard hat drum solo.
Hurlin currently lives in Los Angeles where he is drumming with Ezra Reich, Cousin Junebug, The Evangenitals, and DJ Lior Malka.
In addition to David's extensive experience with performing and recording, he has taught many students how to play the drums and the tabla. He is working currently on a curriculum for the drum set based on the heartbeat and the Samba, and is accepting students in the LA area who are eager for a more holistic, grounded, way-of-the-warrior approach to drumming..
