Looking for easy going drummer to join band
Hey there
Can you play drums?
And - maybe - sing? And maybe play guitar? Bass? Keyboards? And - any other stuff?
It don't matter (that much) how good you are technically. Or how much of above you can do.
But we're looking for someone who has some basic skills on some instruments and thinks it would be fun to try doing different things and playing new things.
Also - you've got to be game to rehearse 4 hours a week every sunday. With the aim to play lots of gigs.
If it's just about making money for you - then please try somewhere else. We do this because we love it (anything else is just a bonus).
Professional or not - we don't really mind. But what is important is that you're: easy to get along with; good at communicating; have an open mind and don't mind so much about looking cool all the time.
Who are we? Well... So far there's three of us. We all met this year and are all pretty easy going.
We have been toying with various ideas and building several songs into different stages of completion.
If you want to join us - you'll need to learn the songs we have so far and add your own parts to them.
We don't care about your gender, sexuality, race etc etc
If this sounds like your cup of tea: get in touch. We can meet up somewhere - have a chat - and then if that works we can try playing some music together.
Also we have a myspace we could show you.
