Rise to Prominence as a Nirvana Drummer
At the age of 17, Dave embarked on his professional music career by joining the local punk rock band Scream, stepping in as their drummer after the departure of the previous member. They together released two studio albums before the band eventually disbanded.
His big break came in 1990, when he became a member of the iconic grunge band Nirvana. Making his debut as Nirvana’s drummer on their second studio album “Nevermind” (1991), Dave played a significant role in the album’s success, which exceeded all expectations, becoming a worldwide critical and commercial success, catapulting Nirvana to global stardom. “Nevermind” reached the top of the US Billboard 200 chart, and its lead single “Smells Like Teen Spirit” became their biggest hit, topping the charts globally and earning a place in the Grammy Hall of Fame. This single not only became an anthem for the Generation X, but also helped bring alternative rock to the mainstream spotlight.

The debut album received positive reviews and achieved significant success, making a promising start for this new endeavor. Foo Fighters quickly became one of the most successful rock bands on the music scene, with Dave serving as the lead vocalist and guitarist.
Over the years, the band has issued ten additional studio albums, ten EPs, six video albums, and more than 50 singles. Their notable albums include “The Colour And The Shape” (1997), which includes such hits as “My Hero” and “Everlong” and is regarded as one of their best works, as well as “There Is Nothing Left To Lose” (1999), which earned them their first Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. They continued to release successful studio albums throughout the 2000s and 2010s, such as “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace” (2007), “Wasting Light” (2011), “Sonic Highways” (2014), and “Concrete And Gold” (2017).
