About / Biography

Hi,
I am Davide, also known as Dado.
I am a professional drummer/percussionist with Italian roots. I began my professional music career in 2002 as a London Underground busker; after one year of playing the didjeridoo with a mini drum-kit for the London commuters, I started receiving copious booking requests from various London based artists and bands.

I travelled a couple of times to Cuba to study and immerse myself in Afro-Cuban rhythms with local musicians.

I have been described by fellow musicians as a versatile drummer/percussionist and I feel comfortable behind a drum-kit, a percussion set, or a hybrid kit.

I have performed with top bands and artists across the world, from the UK, Europe, South America, Africa and Hong Kong.
