Drummer Available for Cover Band, Studio Tracking, or Filling In

Denver CO

Description

Hi, I'm a 32 year old drummer available for: 1: A solid gigging cover band 2: People who need drum tracks recorded for their songs 3. Filling in for paid shows. I can learn covers extremely fast for you! I'm a classically trained percussionist, played in the school band 3rd grade through senior year of high school. Since then, I've played with a bunch of bands, recorded at several different studios, written full band arrangements, and have stage experience with multiple different bands. I play with two original bands already, so I'm not interested in joining another. What I'm looking for, obviously, are paid gigs! So if you are a legit cover band with stage experience and drive to book paying gigs, then I'm in. Doesn't matter what type of music. I specialize in and prefer metal and hard rock but I can play almost anything. I'm your guy for classic rock, metal, dance/pop, funk, jams, country, whatever. I am not your guy for super demanding jazz (don't know many standards) or Latin American music, just being honest. I have transportation, a practice space, and two drum sets that can be customized for what sound you need. I can show up and fill in for you temporarily if you'd like, but I'd prefer to be a part of a continuous cover band endeavor that shares equally in the gig money. If you need a last minute drummer, I can help! I recently learned about 30 cover songs in a few hours and filled in for a 3 night run of 4 hour sets no problem, taking drum solos and the whole shebang (obviously not in Denver, but somewhere smaller where bars were open, though don't take me as an anti-masker, I prefer to be safe and let everyone around me make their own choices). I have professional gear and I know how to support you and make your band sound great as well as take the lead when needed. As for studio drumming, I can offer 4 services: 1. I come with you to a studio of your choice and record tracks for your album. 2. I record myself playing drums along to your tracks (your scratch tracks must be set to a metronome) 3. I use my drum mics and interface to record YOU playing on your drums. 4. I make a rough recording playing to your tracks to give you ideas and work as a consultant. For any of these services, I will be charging $25/hour. Depending on how complicated your songs are, it might not take me much time at all or each song could require multiple hours- it all depends on what you're looking for like if it's pop or technical death metal. So if any of this sounds good to you, then let's make some music! Here's a video of me playing a cover medley I put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_806cmgllxk&list=PLZoS4sPNzkuit2yEwMByBJRiLh7uW3imm&index=3 Listen with headphones if you want to hear what quality I'm able to offer in sound for studio work at my own practice space. You can also watch my other cover videos on my YouTube channel: Rhythm_AndBooze: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsSzpf6Dt4c28C1C-sHxLyA It's all metal stuff on there right now, but please don't think I don't know how to play softly too! Lastly, I can make playthrough music videos for you like the ones on my channel, but I'm still learning and new at it.
