DAVE RAUN?! ITS OFFICIAL

Over 25 years of slammin the drums. From sweatboxes to festivals and from Ballparks to Bar mitvahs. In the begining it was Middle school Marching bands(1982) for about 4 years then it was all about jammin with friends. I have been lucky enough to have sustained a living from doing what i have love most of my life . Pretty great for a kid who would just play to Lps in his room at parents house all day long everyday. I love all styles Rock ,Punk ,Metal ,Big Band Jazz to Brasilian or Afro-Cuban. Rhythm is the key to everything. Always listening and learning. Over the last 5 years i have gotten into the recording aspect of Music. Having a little Protools Studio in my basement that i record my own material and project band District of Columbias has opened my eyes to thing i always left up to other people ,but know being in charge of the recording and producing end of things is amazing.. Has changed how i approach things . Always learning something new which is great! Most stuff are works in progress and are far from final but i will throw up anyhow just to see what people think. Well stay tuned cuz its all just a work in progress. I am very happy and proud to be Endorsed by DW/PDP Drums and Hardware , SABIAN Cymbals and PROMARK Sticks.
