Welcome to the website!
Currently, I am playing drums for an incredible Bon Scott-era, AC/DC tribute band called "Night Prowler." Besides being a collection of supremely-talented musicians, I have the pleasure of not only performing the many hits and heavy-hitting songs of that period, but also I get to perform with the closest thing to a re-incarnated "Bon Scott" on the entire planet! Those of you who "know" me, will realize that I rarely ever make any comparisons to legends - living or dead - but simply put, you've got to see this band to believe it!
Prior to that, I was laying it down for 14 years, playing drums and performing with RCA/Broadcast recording artist Bill Lyerly,
I have 6 internationally acclaimed CD's - the last one mastered at Abbey Road Studios in England - made the stage for over 2000 shows, and aquired enough memories to fill a James Michner novel to show for it.
All the while, never missing even ONE of those 2000+ shows due to illness, fatigue, or injury - and we're still going!
In addition, I am a long-time drumset instructor for the nationally recognized Progressive Music Center (Progressive Percussion Drum Studios),
teaching students both in our Raleigh, NC location, as well as our Wake Forest, NC location.
Thanks for dropping by!
While you are here, please come inside and take a look around!

"I'm here to testify about my good friend and exceptional fellow musician
Dexter Horton.
I've been very blessed to have been able to play with some awesome players in the Outlaws I was with two great drummers, David Dix
and Monte Yoho, who
as double drummers were quite a chugging machine
and were a joy to play bass with.
One of my proudest moments was recording and getting to know Mitch Mitchell
of Jimi Hendrix fame.
I have fond memories of jamming with Paul Riddle/ Marshall Tucker, the late great Buddy Miles, and our own favorite son Kenny Soule.
As a bass player, I've been so lucky to have been kicked in the ass by the best.
Let me tell you, Dexter Horton is as good as any of these names I've mentioned.
What he and they all have in common is that they play from their heart, their own way, and more importantly all have the professional ear and courtesy of knowing when not to play.
Dexter is steady as a heartbeat.
I've always said that many own drums, but few own tempo.
Dexter is dead on, can play with drive at a low volume, or bring down the house.
As a person, Dexter is as genuine and as RELIABLE as they come.
I am very biased, as he is my friend and I love him and his playing.
Be you a student or bandmate, relax,
let Dexter worry about the beat.
Whenever given the chance, I will."
- Harvey Dalton Arnold - the Outlaws, 1976-80 |
