David Bedell is a professional drummer, instructor, recording artist. and songwriter. Born into a musical family, he started playing drums at only 3 years of age. Little David studied drums from his great uncle David Bedell in Springfield, Missouri. During this time, David took his love and devotion of the instrument to another level. Never settling, David knew someday his hard work and years of pursuit would pay off. His abilities on the drums landed him in numerous bands and opportunities to tour the world. David also started teaching drums professionally at the age of 15 sharing his gift of education to hundreds of students from ages 3 to 73. His abilities have granted him large endorsements with major companies like Pearl Drums, Soultone Cymbals, AHEAD Drumsticks and Axis Percussion. These abilities opened new passageways he never thought to travel down, but at an early age his family saw more to young David other than just drumming. David knew one day it would come full circle from those days of childhood songs with his cousins and his favorite aunt.
From the beginning of 2011, David has collected over 630 plus tunes under his belt. He currently writes under Non-Stop Music and Valo Records for Warner Chappell Production Music under head producer Gabriel Candiani.
David is now an accomplished songwriter and couldn’t have done this without his supportive wife having his back in everything. She has been instrumental in making his musical dreams come true. David is a chameleon when it comes to writing. He is able to
deliver that hook and song to whatever you or your client needs. Movies, Jingles, Top 40, Hip Hop, Kid Songs, Pop, R&B, and even Country. This man has played it all and understands what makes a good song. For more on David go to www.Warnerchappellpm.com and search for David Bedell.
