Daniel Adair
Nickelback
Born and raised in Toronto, drummer Daniel Adair
picked up his first set of drumsticks at the impressionable
age of 13 after being motivated to put together
an old kit his drummer father had stored away. He
didn't do much drumming during his late teens -
that is, until he took a job working at a Vancouver
music store. He began practicing again in earnest
(further learning to sing while he drummed), networking
with musicians who would frequent the store, and
even started additionally playing the bass guitar.
Adair soon established a name for himself in the
area, performing in various local cover bands and
doing plenty of studio work on the side. In 2002,
he joined up with multi-platinum rockers 3 Doors
Down, staying with them for two years and recording
two albums in the process (2003's Another 700 Miles
and 2005's Seventeen Days). Adair left the band
to become a member of another popular rock act,
Vancouver-based Nickelback, in early 2005, replacing
the band's former drummer, Ryan Vikedal. In addition
to his work with 3 Doors Down and Nickelback, Adair
has appeared on albums by acts like Theory of a
Deadman, Martone, and Bo Bice.
