David Logeman beat out 54 other candidates for the drummers chair in Zappa's band after Vinnie Colaiuta's brief departure in 1980. Logeman: "I had to learn a 2 hour show in 10 days!"

He can be heard on Zappa's "Tinseltown Rebellion", "You Are What You Is", and on volumes 1 and 4 of the "You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore" series.

David also played the drums for Jan & Dean (and got interviewed in a Jan & Dean "Behind The Music" documentary that aired on 1998/08/23 on VH1).

Logerman left Zappa's band to persue TV work which kept him busy for a while with recording dates (original songs, live presentations, and background music), Country Jamboree (house band 1981), General Hospital (1982-1986), Dreams (1986), The Young & The Restless, and On & On.

He has toured with the fabulous surf duo Jan & Dean since 1988, as well as a stint with the Beach Boys and Mike Love's California Beach Band (both in 1996).

He continued to tour with Jan & Dean as well as head up their merchandise company. While doing all of that, he is busy producing, arranging, recording, and playing drums with a hot new artist- Shannon Beaty.
