about

Introduce yourself: Hello I'm Dirty Drummer which is alias of the name my momma gave me, Dave Haire. I'm a Charlotte, North Carolina based dj / producer / musician / artist Dirty Dave Haire. I have a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. And when I'm not being a daddy, I make beats and run a Design studio. What's your musical background: I've played the drums since age twelve. I've been in bands since 14. Djing and producing beats for over 10 years. I've toured the country with a funk rock jazz outfit called "The X-periment " where we played on the Smoking Grooves tour and have shared the bill with Public Enemy, Outkast, Lauren Hill, Cypress Hill, Gangstarr, Isaac Hayes, The Time, Bio Ritmo, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Rare Essence, and many others. We've also backed up llve Philadelphia spoken word heavyweights Ursula Rucker and Rich Medina, as well as lyricists such as J-Live, And Asheru of the Unspoken Heard. Describe the music: The music I produce is a perfect storm of found samples, live drums and other instruments all with a hip hop back bone but plays in the world of funk, soul, jazz, fusion, afro beat, and downtempo flavors. What are some influences: I gain inspiration in a lot of different music most of which is old. 60's - 70's Funk, Soul, Rock, Fusion and Jazz and 80's - 90's Hip Hop. Some of my favorite artists include, Dilla, Madlib, Flying Lotus. I'm real big on listening to instrumental beats and I get the bug when I hear some dope beats. Name some of your f
