David Lee :: Drums, Vocals

David was born to play drums. Even in pre-school, David wanted drums. He got piano lessons instead. In studying classical piano at a young age, David learned composition, chord structure, tempo, dynamics, and emotion. He finally got his first drum set at age 12 and before long mastered it. David began playing professionally after high school with various Charlotte bands like My Three Sons and Simon Sez, building on the lessons that made him a musician. Now, guided by his training, instinct, intuition, and destiny, David is SwampdaWamp's resident superhero.

"When I play, it's not about how many licks I can fit in, it's all about the song and what feels right for each one musically. Everything I've done my whole life has been for the music - for the song, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It makes the people around me nuts because I obsess over the music so much, but that's the only way I'm happy. Sometimes you just know what you're supposed to do in life and I'm lucky enough to be doing it." --David Lee
