midierror meets...

This time, we hear from David Frangioni a self-confessed non-stop entrepreneur with a back catalogue of work that reads like a whos-who of rock and roll. After overcoming cancer at age two, David cut his teeth in Boston Producing Aerosmith, learnt drumming with Joe Morello, and was at the forefront of the Music Tehcnology revolution in the early 80s, into the 90s and beyond.

David is an accomplished drummer who has his own drumming hall of fame (featuring kits from some of the biggest names in rock) and has been the publisher of Modern Drummer Magazine since 2019. He was part of the first Billboard number 1 made in an entirely digital studio working alongside Desmond Child, and has consistently operated at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and musical artistry.
