David Samuel Pike (born March 23, 1938 in Detroit, Michigan) is a jazz vibraphone player. He learned drums at the age of eight and is self-taught on vibes. He has also played marimba, particularly with Herbie Mann. Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, and Cal Tjader were early inspirations for him.
He began putting an amplifier on his vibes when working with flautist Herbie Mann in the early 1960s[1].. There are several other works he did inspired by Brazilian jazz, Latin jazz, or world music.
