Dan  Rockvoan

Drummer- Uptownphunkband

​

Dan started playing the drums since he was 13 years old.

​

From 1999-2000 he studied at the World Class Drummer and Bass Collective School of Music in New York City.  While attending he studied many different styles such as: Latin, Jazz, Funk, Brazilian, and Country.

 

After he graduated from Brother Martin and Loyola, he started a music and tutoring school called “Basic Innovations & Learning. Dan enjoyed teaching young musicians for around 20 years,  during that time his students gave him the Nick Name: 

                                     “MR.DAN!”

 

Even though Dan is a Rocker, he does get to fulfill his passion for heavy hitting double pedal bass Drum hits, which can be heard with some of the bands song selections.

 

He has had many drummers influence his style, but his two favorites are: Dave Weckel and Mike Portnoy, who in his words are " World Class Status”. 

 

When he is not performing you can find Mr. Dan at your closest Gym, where he is a Certified Personal Trainer.
