David Silveria (born September 21st 1972 in San Leandro, California) is an American drummer, best known for being a member of American nü metal band Korn from its forming in 1993 until 2006.

His music career started in the late 1980’s with funk rock band L.A.P.D., which included fellow Korn members Fieldy and Munky. The band would dissolve in 1992 and the trio would reform into a band known as Creep after hiring their roadie, Brian “Head” Welch, as another guitarist. The band would hire Jonathan Davis as their singer and the band would be renamed Korn in 1993.

The band gained mainstream success with their 3rd album, Follow the Leader, and would continue to see mainstream success until the mid-2000’s. On December 13th, 2006, Korn announced that David would take a hiatus to spend time with family as well as running his restaurant in Huntington Beach, which has since closed.

The relationship between David and other members of the band soured after they hired Ray Luzier as a replacement in 2010. On February 27th, 2015, David filed a lawsuit against the band, claiming that they owed him money from the band’s post-2006 work as well as wanting to reclaim his ownership interest. This lawsuit would be settled out of court in January 2020 as well as the band’s countersuit launched in February 2019 due to missed royalty payments caused.

In January 2012, David returned to music, joining the lineup for experimental rock band INFINIKA. The band would later dissolve in January 2015. In May of that same year, David formed the band Core10 which would dissolve in 2018. As of 2018, David has formed yet another band, named BI•AS.
