Drummer looking to join a band

New York City NY

Description

I'm a decent drummer in his late 20s, new to the city looking to join a band. I've played in expat, part-time bands when I lived in Shanghai, but now I'm trying to get into music full time. If anyone plays guitar, bass, piano/synth and wants to start something, please reach out, I'd love to set up a jam. My drum skills are alright, but I've got a great work ethic and plenty of time now, so I hope to really tighten up over the next few months. I primarily play rock, funk, neo-pysch, hip-hop, but interested in getting into jazz, fusion, prog, and post rock stuff. Other than drums, I am a synthesist, so I can record all kinds of cool synth sounds and I'm always practicing piano. I also play sloppy guitar and decent bass, so I'd like to think I have a more balanced perspective on the role of drums in a band. I think drums should be there to support the music. I have a decent knowledge of theory too because I minored in music theory in college. Some of my musical influences are Swans, Tangerine Dream, Can, King Crimson, Chic, James Brown, Anderson Paak, Fela Kuti, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard,Velvet Underground. I'm pretty flexible on what type of music we play, though. Send me an email if you think you'd like to jam! Here are some recordings from my last band (note, we recorded this live in a hurry and mixed it ourselves because of covid so please excuse the DIY charm and slight sloppiness) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdFQ4jOE9nk&list=OLAK5uy_kswv55H9cliU79ldl3Xlfg7lBOcKwTSig&index=6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lONJpSSHo0U&list=OLAK5uy_kswv55H9cliU79ldl3Xlfg7lBOcKwTSig&index=5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF9GKDYIqEU&list=OLAK5uy_kswv55H9cliU79ldl3Xlfg7lBOcKwTSig&index=2
