David Herzel distilles the unique drumming styles and musical heritage of the nations and cultures into a powerfully swinging percussive trademark.
"David Herzel makes music that exists beyond borders. Spirituality, sensitivity, honesty, loyalty. For David music is a very sensual talk without any borders: Stuffed with ideas and a big bunch of inspiration.
Over the years he played over 3000 shows and has become an expert for brushes".
On stage, Herzel is a spectacular showman playing the drums on
chairs and the audience, plates and cups and tossing his
sticks high in the air during solos and
generally enjoying himself. "
