THE HOUSE OF DAVID PROJECT: Is a personal journey through music for me. It began when I was very young and I hope it continues for many years to come. I have been fortunate enough to perform on stage and in the studio with some of the best musicians anywhere. A few have been gracious enough to lend their time and talents to my project. Scheduling is the hardest part, but when it is time to go red, well, the magic just happens.

Influences
Drum influences include but are not limited to: All the old school greats like , Rich, Krupa, Bellson and so on as well as modern greats like, Wekl, Gadd, Chambers, the energy and creativity of Liberty Divito and the many local greats that should be nationally known and revered like, Creig Harber, Brian Cole, Sean O'Rourke and then there is my dad, Dallas Buice, just to name a few.Of Course there are the rock and roll drummers, Bonham, Appacie, Star, Mitch Mitchel, Moon, just to name a few. I really feel that everyone has something to offer.
I have uploaded another song as performed and recorded with the amazing Jody Worrell on guitar, the wonderful Tony Vaughn on bass, (my partner in crime), and the fabulous Vallery Barbin on vocals. I will upload others on a rotation later. "Sell My Monkey" is a great song wiriten and recorded by the fabulous B.B. King and is interpreted in our own special way, the Back Beats way. Hope you enjoy. I have also included "Walk Away" an amazing performance by Vallery Barbin, the beautiful vocalist of the Backbeats, and "Jody's Blues", a very c-o-o-l instrumental by Jody and then there is "The Devil In You", a King Johnson tune interpreted by us.
Finally a new song! This song was written for my beautiful wife Sarah. It is not complete but I wanted to get a few comments anyway. The mix is a quick mix. My brother Jody Worrell is performing the guitar work on this. Rachel Williams and Donnie Henderson are performing back-up vocals. Rachel's Angelic Voice is icing on the cake.There is more work to be done on this for sure. Please leave a comment as they are more than welcome.
Sounds Like
The House of David Project, I feel covers a wide spectrum of music, so it is hard to catagorize it into "sounds like". I will say that each and every player adds his or her own signature to the overall sound. I like to think that as a whole it sounds like what I hear in my heart and the players somehow tap into that sound and transfer it into musical sound. I simply arrange the tunes and then verbally express what I am hearing to a small degree and then back off so that the players can reach into themselves and play what they are hearing. It just works out to be magic that way. There is a little funk, some blues, a little of everything all mixed into the music and songs. All from my head and heart. You will have to listen for yourselves and decide what it sounds like.
I also play for my church in the praise band. A small intimate church, The Village Church is a place where everyone is welcome, especially those seeking answers to the questions in their lives that they can not find anywhere else. Everyone is accepted with no expectations and without judgment of any sort. You can reach the church media links at: http://www.villagechurch.tv/media/sermons/index Some files are clearer and cleaner than others. it is truly a work in progress.

"Growing up in a musical family I was exposed and influenced by many different styles of music. It was not uncommon to hear everything from Bill Haley and the Comets, Hank Williams Sr., Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Lou Rawls, Frank Sinatra, Les Paul, a Broadway Musical, Bobby Darin, Patsy Cline, The Stones, The Beatles, Hendrix, The Beach Boys, Fats Domino, Al Hert and Tom Jones, all before breakfast!"
David's Theory: (Part one) "Everyone has something to offer. That is all of the musicians that play from the heart. Experience means nothing if the player can't remember why they started playing to begin with."
(Part two) "It's all about respect!"
(Part three) "There is something to be said for longevity..." "I have set a goal for myself to at least play to a certain level on the bar each and every time I play. If I do not make that mark, it will be time to step down and make room for someone else that can make it." " I have been more than fortunate in finding myself in awe, playing and performing with some of the best musicians in the world throughout my whole career. Some have been nationally or even world-wide known, some have been local players. But each of them were accomplished, successful contributing musicians by any standards. I have been and continue to be influenced by them all. They have taught me that it is not what you have to say that is as important as what you say with your instrument."
(Part four) "It's still all about respect!"
I am married to my high school love, my first true love, Sarah Margarita Namer-Buice. We were destined to travel in a great and wonderful circle through life and then return to each other in order to spend the rest of our lives as one. I am involved with several musical projects and mostly freelance including a few gigs with the fabulous Geoff Achison from Australia. Of course there is the Little Phil Project, (now we are into our second album after the first one being considered for a Grammy for 2007!), and I still love to play with one of my mentors, Bill Turpin whenever I get the chance. I also play with the Borderline Band and several pick-up, sit in gigs here and there.
I have been blessed to be able to play with Atlanta's finest musicians over the years and even some of my musical heros! I have learned from them all. It really doesn't matter what you're playin' or who you're playin' with, It's what you do with what you're playin'!
In recording I like to keep in mind what Sergio Mendez once said, "You're only as good as your last three minutes. But I do try and place a little bit of me in each recording. that is unless I'm required to play like a metronome!
MORE TO COME.
