Heavily influenced by the cultural development of modern tribal music, iDRUM believes in the ancient energy that is percussion and it’s relevance in today’s world. Davidson and many of the iDRUM collective have performed before or with greats such as Little Louie Vega (M.A.W.), Mr. Fingers (Larry Heard), Blaze, Byron Stingily (Ten City), Miguel Migs (Naked Music), Osunlade, Dennis Ferrer and Joe Clausel.
