Jake Davis
My name is Jake Davis, I'm just a guy who loves gear out here trying to manifest as much of it as possible to record some monster jams in my new garage studio. I've been playing drums / recording bands for over 15 years now and most recently became the hugest guitar nerd in the world after buying my first Jackson Floyd Rose equipped guitar. The joy I experience hearing guitar harmonies cannot be put into words, since discovering that magic and how to create it; my love of music has grown tenfold. I can help you out whether you're buying your first cat, drum set, microphone, guitar, espresso machine, etc. I'm only a call away, let's do this!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
