Biography

Daniel's intense and undying passion for rhythm and music began at the age of five. Since that time Daniel has played and studied with some of the best players in his native Australia, also having travelled to the USA, studying with some of the best players in the world, notably, Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, Joe Morello and fellow Australian drumming icon, Virgil Donati.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Daniel has spent over twenty years developing and mastering his skills on the drums, becoming a near obsessive player, relentlessly developing, moulding, maintaining his ideas while searching for new and exciting concepts. Mind-blowing hand technique along with an increasing level of endurance and showmanship plus simply amazing double bass drum playing all play an important role in crafting Daniel's individual sound on the drums.

Daniel was voted "Australia's Up and Coming Drummer" competition winner for 2002, subsequently appearing in the International drum publications DrumScene Magazine (Aust., July 2002 and Dec/Jan/Feb 2006) and Modern Drummer Magazine (USA, June 2006). After establishing his own fusion act Xtreme Measures, touring with the likes of Eric Martin (Mr. Big), recording with various International bands, recording and performing with the dynamically original Metal band Synthetic Breed while also performing clinics in South America, Japan and Europe, Daniel is becoming a drumming force to be reckoned with.
