David Frank rose to fame on the video app Musical.ly, which later became TikTok. He posted short drum covers of popular artists such as Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes on his davidfrankdrums account. He amassed more than 500,000 followers and with that, got him the chance to work with Radio Disney. In 2019, David Frank got his chance to blow up in the drum community when Drumeo allowed him to perform at NAMM. The performance went viral so Drumeo brought him out to Canada to teach and do a full master class. Since then, David has grown over 50,000 followers on Instagram and started working with various artists such as Borgore, Asher Angel, Mackenzie Sol, Benda, The Bomb Digz, and more!

Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Most definitely any one of my Drumeo performances. Especially when we were recording in the studio, I wasn't holding back. I was going "for blood" if you will. Trying anything that came to mind! -
What Drives Your Creativity?
That sense of "not knowing". I never know what I'm going to do when I get behind the drums. My mind will have me try something I've never done behind the kit just because I can! That has always been something I appreciate a lot in my playing. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
Just going back to the beginning when I started playing drums, my first pair of drumsticks were the Vic Firth American Classic 5A's. I grew up playing that drumstick. We literally grew up together, we've been through a lot. It's about time we started our relationship.
