His style often focuses on heavy snare hits on the beat and complex kick patterns.
He sang a few solos for the band, and had also started a side solo music project called Agnes. Back when he joined Relient K, Douglas was also filling in as a guitarist for Ace Troubleshooter, whose frontman was future Relient K bassist John Warne. In Summer 2006, Douglas announced another side project called Gypsy Parade, which he performs alongside his wife. He is currently writing more songs for both of his side projects.
Douglas has professed an interest in airplanes and said that when he was younger, he either wanted to be a pilot or a musician when he grew up. While he is obviously a musician, he said he still wants to get his pilot's license someday.[1]
Dave Douglas announced October 18, 2007 that he would be resigning from Relient K on December 29, 2007. He had started pursuing new musical avenues, and he started devoting as much time as possible to Gypsy Parade. That band has been reformed and now called Attack Cat.
