Dale Eisman- Vocals, Drums

At a very early age, Dale Eisman could be found tapping on anything he found in his family’s basement in Medina, Ohio.  He joined the middle school band and set up his first drum kit at age 14.  He learned to play drums by simply playing to classic rock songs on the radio.  His rock-n-roll dreams were encouraged when he learned his family was moving to Jacksonville, Florida, the home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, one of his favorite bands.  Dale started performing with local cover bands in college and over time he performed with various rock and country bands in local bars, pubs, festivals, and private parties throughout Florida and south Georgia.  To this day, he will not pass up an opportunity to play.

 

Dale met North of 40 when the band was auditioning for a drummer.  Playing with North of 40 has helped Dale sharpen his skills which has pushed him to realize his drumming potential.

 

It has been over 40 years since Dale first held pair of drumsticks and will be holding them for years to come.
