Drummer Dave Gager started playing drums at the ripe old age of 11, influenced after watching ‘The Beatles’ cartoons every Saturday morning on TV. When his 5th grade band teacher politely informed him that ‘guitar’ wasn’t an option for the class, he settled instead on the drums and has never looked back.
Dave has recorded and performed with a host of regional, national and world-class musicians since the early 80's, dividing his time between studio sessions and touring, before settling with his family on the beautiful northern Oregon Coast in 2001.
Dave continues to provide recorded drum tracks from his small, but potent home recording studio, and has gained a reputation as an in-demand session player for musicians/bands of every genre worldwide. He also offers drum lessons to students at every skill level and musical style.
Dave is an official endorser of DMR Custom Drums.
