Intermediate drummer needed for rock band where the love of music and artistic integrity come first.

We are all close to or around 30.

Dedication, drive, work ethic, respect for others and punctuality are musts. No druggies, no drunks.

Looking for a true musical experience, something real and honest, rooted in the desire to make the best music we possibly can.

Need someone who has a certain amount of creative ability and mechanical skill on their instrument, but desire to play, common goals, tastes, chemistry and philosophy are more important. No big egos here. Creatively we do what's best for the song. We're in development and of intermediate level. Although we can certainly play and write, we are still learning our instruments and for the most part have little academic musical education. We have no touring experience and minimal live experience. We're looking for someone to grow with us, or with the patience to allow us to develop our skills to an advanced level.

This is a serious endeavor, we'd like to make a living doing this.

Practice is Thursday nights and Saturday mornings. You're expected to work at home too. You need to own a drum set (or two) so you can keep one at the space and one wherever you practice or have some other way to play outside practice. Rent for the rehearsal space is 55 $ monthly payable on the last Saturday of every month.

Musically: We are not a band where "attitude" and "image" are more noticeable than the music. Maybe this will doom us to failure. Whatever. We like an honest representation. We're not into endless screaming, barking, or adolsecent whining. We like different textures. We don't like "walls" of guitars, but rather aim for memorable riffs or melodies. We don’t like cacophonous collages of sound. We're looking for a stripped down yet polished sound. Sometimes rough but with clear, strong, discernible melodies. We like bands who have the versatility to go hard, soft, and everywhere in between. Some influences, since that is what people do: Pearl Jam, The Who, Neil Young, The Tragically Hip.. If any, or better yet all, of this stuff makes some kind of sense to you then we should talk and see if we can make some beautiful music together.
