David Douglas was drummer in Relient K between 200 and 2007. He was followed up by Ethan Luck.
Dave Douglas joined Relient K after their former drummer, Stephen Cushman, departed in late 2000. Douglas has been playing the drums and doing background vocals for the band for just over six years. His style often focuses on heavy snare hits on the beat and complex kick patterns.
While in Relient K Dave Douglas also started a side solo music project called Agnes (see below for more). Back when he joined Relient K, Dave Douglas was also filling in as a guitarist for Ace Troubleshooter, whose frontman was future Relient K bassist John Warne.
In summer 2006, Douglas announced another side project of his. This second side project is called Gypsy Parade, and he performs for this project with his wife. He is currently writing more songs for both of his side projects. Douglas currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his wife, Rachel.
Dave Douglas also has a solo side project, Agnes. His first three songs debuted on Mono Vs Stereo's My Other Band, Vol. 1, which was released in June 2006. The CD was a compilation for members of Christian rock bands to get out side projects of theirs to the public. This project has its own unique sound compared to that of Relient K, although there are hints of Relient K's earlier sound in it.
Dave Douglas is currently in the process of writing more songs for this side project. Douglas performs for the project entirely on his own, playing guitar, bass, and drums. He does all of the vocals for the project as well. He has said that his father taught him the basics on all of these instruments. He is also currently writing more songs for his other side project, Gypsy Parade. Douglas' bandmate in Relient K, John Warne is considering doing a side project for a possible My Other Band, Vol. 2.
