Daniel Whitesides, a remarkably gifted drummer, has left an indelible mark on the music industry as a valued member of the esteemed American rock band, The Used. His tenure with the band commenced in the summer of 2006, following the departure of Branden Steineckert, the band's founder and former drummer, who had been instrumental in shaping the group's sound.
Prior to joining The Used, Whitesides had spent a substantial seven years refining his craft with The New Transit Direction, a band that undoubtedly played a pivotal role in molding his musical abilities and preparing him for the challenges that lay ahead with his new role in The Used. This formative experience served as a crucial stepping stone, enabling Whitesides to develop the technical proficiency and artistic vision that would ultimately distinguish him as a talented drummer in his own right.
As a result, Whitesides' arrival at The Used marked a new era for the band, bringing with him a unique set of skills and perspectives that would help shape the band's sound and direction in the years to come.
