“One big motor behind Mr. Harper's gear-shifting music is the percussionist David Leach. He stepped out for several exciting solos and otherwise added dimension to the more direct rhythms”…
-Ann Powers- New York Times

“David is my rhythm section brother in Chris Pierce's band, and one of the best percussionist I've ever played with.”
-Rob Perkins- Drummer, Chris Pierce and Michael Buble

"He is what I call a musician first and a percussionist second, my ultimate compliment. As a percussionist/drummer is easy to go for all the instruments and toys, traditional, ethnic and tribal rythms, etc... which is great and needed at times, but to hear a song and only play what is needed, it takes a lot of musicianship, professional disipline and ears. Song and lyrics, complimented. This is David Leach, and I love to play with him because he is a great musician.”
-Walfredo Reyes- Drummer, Steve Winwood and Santana

"David is truly a star! Who needs a drum machine to keep 3 different rhythms when you have David?... He’s such a pro, who doesn’t distract, instead enhances the whole musical experience whether he’s recording or playing live. On top of that he’s fun. David Rocks!"
-A Girl Named Jaen
