Pro Drummer With E Kit Wanted

New York City NY

Description

Pro drummer with E Kit needed. We don't want to wear someone out with a massive schlep of equipment when it's time to play shows. We want to play a lot of shows, so we're looking to keep setup and breakdown fast and simple. A top level electronic kit would help in integrating the drums into the sound of the band by making volume levels manageable at rehearsals and gigs, cutting down on mic bleeds and controlling the decay of drum sounds and preventing the buildup of resonant frequencies. We don't want to bury you in the mix; we want the mix to be reliably clear with drums and vocals balanced prominently. There are a few other technical reasons that I won't go into, but I think that this is the best way forward at the present time. We are an all originals project, serious, no drug or alcohol problems, Bass, Vocals and Guitar, rocking bluesy (but not typical I IV V progressions) crazy, dissonant, short form, catchy, straight to the point rock with a classic rock familiarity factor and a futuristic modern edgy sound that will make musical sense because it won't be conceptually inaccessible. We are just getting into the start phase and want to get someplace. Guitar is fully Pfizer vaccinated, Bass and Vocals will be getting their second doses at the end of April. Within two or two and a half months we'll be out there gigging with a very strong ten song fast paced set and with luck, we'll be making some noise and getting attention. We're looking for somebody really good and not just average, who can create distinct parts to good songs. Basic timekeeper stuff doesn't work for us; bring additional creativity to the grooves and arrangements. Send a link or a file but don't send boring, slow stuff!! Rock means rock so send some rocky rock type material you've played on, so pleeeeease send uptempo material or don't bother. Show us some inspired playing. We want to sound distinct, accessible, fresh and new, going beyond and stretching the obvious influences. Bonham, Ringo, Grohl, Densmore, Powell, Paice, Blaine, Gadd, Moon, Walden, Watts, etc. If you want to be a working full time pro this might be the right ad. We are going to do our best to get there. Be able to commit to tour, travel, if and when it happens. If you can't because of work, spouse, whatever then this is not the right fit. Be reliable, musical and easy to deal with, with no issues that get in the way of getting things done. Thankies!!
