Dave DiCenso is a Boston-area drummer whose musicality and versatility has earned him a diverse list of playing credits. He also happens to be a drummer who can teach and has maintained a thriving practice throughout his playing career. Despite his success as a journeyman, of late Dave has mostly kept his sideman hat on the hook to spend more time with his family, put more of what he teaches to paper, and begin in earnest to scratch a long-standing itch to compose.
As a child, Dave could be found playing his dad's 60's Slingerlands along with his favorite 45's and albums in the basement of his parents' suburban home. By the age of four, he was asking his dad, Dick DiCenso - a renowned teacher in the Boston area for more than fifty years now - for drum lessons. After holding him off for a year his dad gave him his first lesson. As it turned out, however, Dave proved to be a less-than-ideal student, frequently opting to play along with his Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Kiss records instead of practicing his lessons. Despite his dad's expert tutelage and patience, Dave gave up on lessons after a few years and migrated toward another of his fascinations, guitar. Eventually of course, it came time to choose a career path and, well, we know which one he took...
With a desire to learn more about music and try to make a living at it, Dave reconnected with his father for a couple years' worth of lessons before going to to New York City to study privately at the Drummer's Collective. At the Collective he had the privilege of working with more great teachers such as Kim Plainfield, Rod Morgenstein, Zach Danziger, Duduka Fonseca, Pete Zeldman, Frank Malabe, Ricky Sebastian, Bob Weiner, and Frank Katz. From there he went back home and took up with renowned teacher Gary Chaffee for the better part of a year. The rest of his education was "in the field", starting with his first GB gig at fifteen - to which his mom drove and retrieved him.
Since then Dave has worked with bands and artists ranging widely in genre - from hardcore to fusion, prog to r&b, jazz to pop. A partial listing of his credits includes Cro-Mags, Steve Morse Band, Hiromi, Duran Duran, John Petrucci, Gary Cherone, Suze DeMarchi, Johnny A, David Fiuczynski, Shelter, Two Ton Shoe, Aaron Katz Band, Jess Tardy, Jon Finn Group, Farrenheit, Ultra Blue, Bad Karma, and Mystery Jones. An interesting tidbit - and testament to his musical depth - is that Dave has performed at venues as disparate as the Kennedy Center and the Whisky A GoGo, and has shared stages with artists as dissimilar as Etta James and Slayer.
As mentioned, Dave is also an educator. In addition to being an Associate Professor of Percussion at Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, he is an experienced clinician and has been a featured artist at major percussion industry events including the Modern Drummer Festival, the Percussive Arts Society International Convention, N.A.M.M., Frankfurt MusikMesse, and the Montreal Drum Festival.
Currently, as well as maintaining an active schedule at Berklee, Dave is embracing his role as an author, working on his second drum instruction book, which will follow up the well received Universal Rhythms for Drumset, published by Alfred Publishing. The plan for his instrumental compositions is to finish a couple of albums worth of material, make a record, and get out and play.

I have had the great pleasure of playing with Dave DiCenso a number of times and he is a blast as well as a pro on every level. Monster musician and all around cool guy.
Dr. DiCenso, you are one funkified fella & your voicing technique is a validation of my teacher's advise. Thanks.
Dave is the man!!!
Dave is a absolute BOSS

Yeah that's all we need, listening to your favorite band and the drummer hollering 1e&a2e&a in the background.
Professor DiCenso is one of the greatest drummers to sit behind a kit. ua-cam.com/video/s_81IomgGEY/v-deo.html
He makes it clear in his teaching that the counting is for during practice, when we perform that time should be so internalized and natural that we don't have to count out loud.

@mcufre Only drummers who can make a drum solo INTERESTING (i forgot to write it hehe)
right on Dave, it's totally different to just play empty minded, throw some random licks or ideas, than play over a musical skeleton, that's why your MD solo kicked so much ass, you had music in your mind. That's why drum solos are always better over a vamp. Only drummers who can make a drum solo(without any other instruments)are those who still have the other instruments IN THEIR HEAD :D
Dave sounds exactly like Vin Diesel
Doesn’t sound like Vin even a tiny bit
@cjcdrums LOL you talk to yourself? XD
