Recording sessions, tours, dep gigs, demos... local or worldwide!
Hello, my name's Dave Collingwood. I'm an experienced freelance session drummer based in Bristol, UK.
If you're looking for a professional, easy-going, solid, sensitive drummer for your project — whether it's demos, dep gigs, major recording sessions or world tours — drop me a line!
I have 15 years' experience working across the world. My most recent tours with Yann Tiersen have taken me to Europe, USA, Canada, Scandinavia, China, Mexico and through South America.
I've also played drums with Gravenhurst (Warp Records) and The Allender Band (Dreamboat Records), clocking up many hours in studios and on tours around the world.
Recent releases include Yann Tiersen - 'Dust Lane', Sage Francis - 'Li(f)e', Miossec - 'Finistériens' and Yellow6 - 'Cut'.
In 2010 I played drums on, engineered, mixed and mastered an album under the name 'Three-Cornered Moon'. Free download from our bandcamp page here.
I travel with my own set of drums and cymbals (see the equipment page) and will always be responsible for my own set-up, tuning, soundchecking and tear-down.
I can also offer my services as a backline technician, or dedicated drum tech. Use the form on the bookings page to enquire further.
