Dave Schoepke is an accomplished drummer from Milwaukee Wisconsin (USA), who has had the pleasure of working with the legendary Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre. Dave toured with Martin’s band in 2017 and in 2018 for the Cruise To The Edge Tour. He’s also been the primary drummer for The Willy Porter Band since 2002, and has toured with him on a number of occasions over the years, including numerous television and radio appearances.
2019 brought the release of Dave’s first all drums album Drums On Low featuring 10 compositions that draws entirely from the drum set and it’s components, done live with no overdubbing or editing. Dave’s approach is composition based and thematic, downplaying the bombastic and going for a more sublime approach. The “sweeter” side if you will.
