Seeking dedicated rock / metal drummer for original band
Hi all,
Myself a guitar player vocalist and my brother in arms on the bass guitar seek a dedicated professional level drummer to join us on our quest to be something new in rock and metal. I'm a 41 year old guitarist vocalist playing since I was 8 with pro level gear and more equipment and guitars than is sane ( but love guitars, worse things to be addicted to) and my bass brother in arms is 29 nearly 30 and fully trained to academy standards and rocks like a beast.
We are seeking a drummer who would be dedicated and professional in the sense of fun, but being serious enough to want to play live and record and actually want to get somewhere. We rehearse regularly and use a dedicated recording studio in exeter as our base to write. We are ready to rock and just missing that firm drummer who can input fully and engage with the music and contribute to arranging songs. Double bass drum ability is preferred because we are very into rock and metal but not essential ,it's all about the groove and feel.
Influences included Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, The Wildhearts, Motorhead, Guns n Roses, Rush, not to mention many many more. We don't limit ourselves but are firmly set on writing and performing decent original music that people can dig. Please bare in mind these are just influences and we are not desiring to be the above listed bands. We truly want to be an original rock / metal band where nothing is off the cards. Inevitably from my guitar playing style I might riff or solo like some of the above and same for the bass player but we've no desire to try to be them. Its about being something new and exciting where possible. Please consider that also.
We are looking for a dedicated player who wants to be part of something special that could potentially go somewhere. Of course that means effort and rehearsal and commitment, so please consider that. 1 or 2 hours a week rehearsal and writing won't get anywhere if serious.
Hopefully we might appeal to someone serious who really wants to rock.
All responses will be responded to where possible.
We are based in Exeter but happy to consider the whole of Devon and beyond for the right dedicated drummer.
Rock on everyone and stay safe.
