Metal band seeks a drummer

2554 Grant Ave, Oakland CA

Description

We are Catatonic Society, and we play metal with some different additional flavors that makes it harder to put into a distinct style. It's all metal in the end. You can check our first album on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOJalKihZEstFUifwLVQ9ILuJQvi7uKBK) or Bandcamp (https://music.catatonicsociety.com/). We have enough material for the second album and plan to start recording soon. The covid lockdown is soon to be over and we'd like to start playing shows as well. We have a studio room in San Lorenzo (Annex), and usually practice some Monday-Thursday nights (starting at 7-8pm), but weekends can work too, usually 2-3 times a week time permitting. The schedule is very flexible (as long as it's not Friday). We don't share the space and can cover the rent if needed. What we're looking for is: 1. 160bpm 1/16th double beat for 16 4/4 bars continuously. We don't have a lot of that kind but we do have some. 2. 21+ because most of local venues are bars. For the reference, we are 40+ but we don't discriminate. 25 or 55, no difference to us. 3. Reliable transportation so you can take your kit to the venue and back when needed. 4. (MUST HAVE) Communication skills. If you can't make to practice tonight, you should be able to tell that to other people before the practice supposed to start. In other words, don't be a person who wastes other people's time. It also probably makes sense if you actually listen to metal, otherwise why would you want to play it? We're beer drinking and metal shows attending guys. It's not a requirement for you, of course, we just want to have some good time. We're not going to tour Europe and South America, we're not going to play at Wacken, we're not that delusional, we're in all this just for fun. If that's enough for you, let us know.
