David Silliman

Saw you in Santa Cruz, and you were really something. You were there with two fantatic soloists, and yet you held your own and then some. What is that thing you sit on and beat like a drumb?

It was great hanging with you last night. Cool web site, man!

Very interesting. We are musical Sillimans's from Asheville NC...They our fair city the San Francisco of the east as we are a very eclectic city. Let us know if you are ever touring in our area Chris

i love the site

Hi David: It has been a long, long time since I've seen you. I remember squishing pincerbugs in your backyard when we were kids, about 6 or 7. You are 1 day short of 1 year older than I am. Back then I thought being a boy would so cool because I wanted to be just like you. Until, that is, my sister and yours tricked me into saying that I wanted you to be my boyfriend. They ran to tell you and you never wanted to squish bugs with me again. So sad. Well, I'm glad you kept up the drumming! I remember hearing the sounds coming from your house on the corner often. I don't think anyone in the neighborhood was sorry, we all knew you were good, even back then! Best to you and your family. Nancy

Man, youre the man!! I cant get over your awsome talent. Looking forward to someday seeing you and meeting you in L.A Cali.

Hi Dave, Nice to see you doing great! Never forgotten you all these years. Here's a picture of us 27 years ago: http://ringo.com/photos/photo.html?photoId=255303968 Keep swinging, Eric http://myspace.com/ericgolub

was looking for you and came to the site to see where you were... NOW i know why you didn't get back to me on some gigs.. you are in Uraguay (sp?)... how great is that? Hope you're haveing a terriffic time..

Hey Dave, hope you doing well. Just wanted to say hello. Keep in touch. Take care. Johanna

Hello. I am a non-professional drummer and percussionist from Germany. I saw your videos on congahead.com and I wondered what this golden metal-spiral is. I really love its sound and I'd like to add it to my setup, but I could not find out, what it is called and where to get it. I checked LP's site, but I found nothing similar. Can you tell me its name and which company produces such instruments? Thanks. Sebastian

Hello: Small world. I was just at Saundra’s sight and saw your comment to her. You’re not going to believe this but I have a son named David G. Silliman who is in college to be a vet. I also have a daughter who is in Turkey with her husband. I’m from upstate NY, but now live in NC. Good luck with all the tunes. Roger

Thank you for my picture in your web site! A big surprise... In July I was in Perugia too. Great music again. Compliments. See you. ely

Hi Dave, It has been a long time since we saw each other. I think the last time was when you played at Carnegie Hall back around 1980. Remember the great times we had in the late 1970's? Next time I'm in New York I'll make it a point to come to one of your gigs. I don’t see any west coast tours scheduled on your calendar. I hope all is well with you. Let me know how you are doing. Regards, Jim

Greetings from Vegas! You look great! Say "Hi" to the family and big hugs for everyone. Looks like you've done well. I can still remember Great America. Have fun this summer!

Good to see you in NYC!!! I like the site! Who manages it for you? Holla! I sent an email but came back. Will try to text you with the cell phone! Peace, Michael

Hey, I don't know you that well, but I think you play super good....!!!! I love to see you playing with Edmar Castaneda and Marshall Gilkes. I know Edmar, I am from Colombia also, and I just love his music...and I love Jazz.I will see you next show... It is sad that I live too far away from the city, but I always try to go to see the Trio. Take care Dave.

It was great to see and hear you today! Hope to see you very soon! Antoine www.frenchcrooner.com

Dave, Great to see your site and contact info, I hope to see you out here in the Bay Area one day soon. maybe we can cop a gig somewhere, cause I miss your great energy and playing with you. Take care, RK

I think you need a nick name like: David "the octopus", or "Mr. Everything", or "el Cajonero" Silliman. something like that.

Georgine Cavaiola is an old and dear friend, she sent me your website, told me it was good---she was correct. I am a lifetime musician, hope to meet you sometime. Keep on swingin'--Lyman

Hello David. Long time no see. I was touched by where you have journeyed in the world of drumming and percussion.
