About David Oliver
David Oliver is a celebrated percussionist renowned for his dynamic and compelling contributions to the soundtracks of many award-winning films and TV shows, operating from his Somerset, UK-based studio. His innovative approach caught the attention of the acclaimed composer William Goodchild in 2012. Their first collaboration was for the National Geographic wildlife documentary "Ultimate Honey Badger," where David's rhythm ensemble recordings played a significant part.
