171: Dave Elitch (Antemasque, Justin Timberlake, M83, Killer Be Killed)

Dave Elitch has the rare ability to deconstruct the craft of drumming on a granular level. This gift has led to a diversity gigs ranging from The Mars Volta to Justin Timberlake. Dave’s primary passion, though, is for teaching. At age 34, he’s taught a who’s-who of professional drummers, some of whom are twice Dave’s age and icons in their own right. Dave tells Joe about how he fell in love with drumming; his teaching style; his love of visual art; and the parallels between therapy and drum instruction.
