Music

Dan Beehler is a Canadian singer and musician. He is the original drummer and lead vocalist of Canadian heavy metal band Exciter from its inception in 1978 to 1993. Although he did not perform vocals on the Exciter O.T.T. album, he continued to play drums until the band split after the release of Better Live Than Dead in 1993.

After Exciter, Beehler formed his own band 'Beehler' and has been dedicated to it ever since. Beehler is remembered as being the backbone of Exciter, which had been a forerunner of speed and thrash metal ever since its debut album, Heavy Metal Maniac, which was released some months before Metallica's Kill 'Em All.

In April 2014, Beehler returned to Exciter.
