Dave Goodman Music

Jazz critic John Clare has described Dave Goodman as ‘one of the leading drummers in the country' and ‘[one of] the most intriguing drummers recording anywhere'. At just eighteen, Dave received an invitation to join the renowned Mike Nock Quartet and, at twenty, came second in the prestigious National Jazz Awards. Today, he is, undoubtedly, one of Australia's most important jazz drummers.  This is evident in the long list of luminaries – both Australian and international – with whom Dave has worked: Joe Lovano, Bernie McGann, James Morrison, Don Burrows, and Vince Jones, to name just a few. At present, he is a key member of including Ten Part Invention, Trioflight,  and the Steve Barry Quartet, several of Australia's finest ensembles.   His professional experience has been augmented with extensive study, both formal and informal. He holds a First Class Honours degree in Jazz Performance and a PhD in Jazz Drumset Performance Studies from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and has studied under several world-class musicians, including Billy Hart, Joe Morello, Jim Chapin and Chad Wackerman.    As a bandleader and composer in his own right, Dave counts numerous creative projects under his belt. Previous undertakings include Dave Goodman's Strange Loop, featuring guitarist James Muller; eleven-piece ensemble Game 1A: Chess; Ad Infinitum, which, in 2002, was commissioned for a recording by the ABC's Jim McLeod's Jazztrack; and the Dave Goodman Quartet, which performed at the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues.  As an educator, Dave draws on over twenty years of teaching experience from previous appointments at prominent institutions such as Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and his pedagogical vision is ‘to help aspiring drummers improve their playing over time by establishing and adhering to a proper,  regular practise routine'. Dave plays Sonor Drums,  Bosphorus Cymbals, Remo Drumheads,  Vater Drumsticks,  DW Pedals & Hardware, and Roc-N-Soc Thrones exclusively.
