24M (Drums) seeks Beginner Musicians
Hello, world
I am looking for musicians to learn some simple cover songs with.
Last month I got an E-drum and have decided to learn casually for fun.
Although I am a beginner drummer, I am not a beginner musician (I am primarily a guitarist) and I hope to find others that I can improve with.
I am currently teaching myself the entirety of Silent Alarm by Bloc Party (by ear so it is taking foreverrrr haha), so far I can play banquet and I am now learning helicopter
I work on weekdays can but can certainly make time (preferably on Fridays).
I live in South London, but we can negotiate where is best for us all to rehearse !
For this "cover group" I prefer to learn popular stuff that I can easily find notation or tutorials for, this will allow me to actually keep up with the group as I don't want to sit down and learn EVERY song by ear. I want this to be casual and not feel like work as I do play other instruments in other projects that I take more seriously.
So you know, the usual beginner/intermediate stuff: Nirvanna, Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Weezer is what I am open to.
I like loads of genres so these artists aren't the be all and end all, I just want to play stuff that I can learn quickly.
I am in my mid 20s, but I am not super fussy about age.
It would be awesome to jam with musicians around my age group but not a deal-breaker
I am super patient too so anybody that hasn't been to a rehearsal space and what-not before I am happy to help setup and advise.
So yeah, any beginners or intermediate musicians looking to improve and learn some covers together: Let's get it crackin'. We can keep it super casual, no pressure about gigging or anything. Let's just get playing and have fun and who knows maybe we can all learn to jam together and create something original.
I am VERY responsive on here, but be prepared for me to take this to whatsapp as this site obviously is a bit tricky to deal with at times (no offence JMB, we love what you do!)
NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE
MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR MANNERS AND RESPECT WHEN YOU INTERACT WITH ME OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS GROUP.
Alright take care,
Thanks for reading
