Dave Helman
Drums - Southern Highlands
Teaching and playing the drums has been a passion of mine since first getting behind a kit back in 1972..
Having studied under Don Gibb at Drum City in Sydney, I went on to work extensively throughout NSW performing and “backing” many artists. I have spent the last 12 years with my band Ella’s Holiday, a collaboration with vocalist Louise Bruce again performing at hundreds of venues throughout NSW.
Due to the care of my many teachers (David Jones Gordon Rytmeister Alan Turnbull) I am in a position to pass on knowledge gained to my students.
