Chris Dave was born in Houston, Texas and began his music career in the late 1980s. He states that although his father plays drums, he has never actually seen him play. As a teenager, he was exposed to jazz legends like Miles Davis and John Coltrane when listening to music with his father. Chris Dave blossomed on the drums, eventually graduating from Houston’s prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He studied at Howard University in Washington .

The final two songs on Chris Dave’s debut album present a vivid argument for the drummer as modern bandleader. After a couple of minutes of the psychedelic Lady Jane, the Houston-born musician’s stickwork explodes, scattering percussive shrapnel all over the track before he takes command and slows the song to a stuttering halt. And on the d Trippy Tipsy, Dave’s rocket-fuel drumming lends momentum to celestial sax riffs. Together, they showcase the man behind the drum kit as the lead musical voice. But the relationship between guests and hosts isn’t even. The sheer number of voices, which is around 50 once you factor in musicians, threatens to muffle Dave’s smart and soulful playing. When the vibe is stripped down, the project works best, but it often feels like slogging through molasses to get there.

Paak's guest turn on "Black Hole" is a standout, as is the lilting, beautiful "Job Well Done," with vocals by Anna Wise and SiR. Chris Dave and the Drumhedz Chris Dave and the Drumhedz.
