Interesting because he is the one that some of the current guys site.
For sure. But there were others up there with both Jesus Culture & Bethel who were playing around with the Tone Hammer + BMS sound before Dan and any of the current players came into the picture. Dan definitely ran with it and made it what it is today, but it's genesis cannot be fully credited to him alone.
I have a huge amount of respect for him as a musician and a bass player though. He really is incredible.
