:::Daniel Eichinger:::
Dan Eichinger has been playing
the drums since he was in
elementary school. Over the
years he has participated in
numerous jazz, rock and funk
bands. In addition Dan has
studied with many teachers along
the way including Sonny Igoe,
Tom Igoe, Chuck Spies
and Ed Shaughnessy. Aside from
his teacher's, Dan's
drumming influences include
Billy Kilson, Will Kennedy,
Horacio Hernandez, David
Garibaldi, Carter Beauford, and
Calvin Rogers.
After graduating from the
University of Michigan in
2001, Dan made the decision to
make Smokestack his
career. Ever since, the band's
music and success have become
his two top priorities.
Smokestack provides Dan with a
platform to develop his
individual playing in a group
setting that fosters listening
and sensitivity. As a result,
Dan has realized many things
since joining the band a couple
of years back, most notably the
idea that 'it's not just what
you play, but HOW you play it.'
Translation: Play with BALLS!
Dan always strives to convey
this belief to Smokestack
fans across the country.
