I’m Dave Porter. I’ve been a working musician for over 30 years, with a life spent on stages and in studios. What started at age twelve on a bedroom floor with a stack of Beatles records grew into a career touring with bands, playing hundreds of recording sessions, and exploring new gear and tones.

 

Along the way, I fell hard for jazz, fusion, and progressive rock, drawing inspiration from players like Geddy Lee, Jeff Beck, Stanley Clarke, and Chick Corea. That curiosity still drives everything I do.

 

This site features my original music and video links from my YouTube channel that feature in-depth gear demos, honest reviews, and real-world playing examples. No hype, no shortcuts, just the sound and feel of great instruments in the hands of someone who’s actually lived with them. 

 

Got gear you want in the spotlight or an idea for a collab? I’m always up for working with great people and great gear. Reach out and let’s make something awesome.
