Dave Leslie - Drums

Dave's love of music began in Scotland with The Beatles when he started playing the guitar at the age of 12. At 17 he realized his finger picking skills weren't strong enough to get the spot with a local band, so he bought an old drum set and learned
to play. Living in Scotland, Germany and Canada, Dave has played with many talented bands performing both original and cover material, most recently with Nightfire and the Beat Merchants. Dave brings Rock, Country, and R&B influences to The Beaten Path.
