need professional talented drummer for long term original project

Asheville NC

Description

We're ready to play live music again, I hope you are too! Musically, we are fast-paced blues based Guitar Rock with a heavy Punk Rock influence. Our style is unique and can be outside the traditional box, but I wouldn't call us avant garde at all. We sound similar to some Swedish/Norwegian Hard Rock outfits like the Hellacopters/Turbonegro/Glucifer/Hives. We like a lot of punk from Fat Wreck/Epitaph to classic rock like Alice Cooper, KISS and AC/DC. It's important that you can play syncopated or unsyncopated beats, triplets, tom rolls, heel-toe bass drum technique, and you are not afraid to be in the spotlight occasionally. Generally, we won't try to dictate what you do for the drum parts, and let you write your part on your own, unless we just have something in mind to accent the guitar or vocal parts, etc. We are currently five members, seeking our sixth. We have Lead and Rhythm guitarists, Bassist, Keyboardist, and a lead vocalist. Just need you to be our new drummer. We like to have fun, hang out, and not just be all work, but a family and community. Sometimes we have a cook out before practice, or hang out and play video games after. I've made dinner for everyone on multiple occasions. Our drummer of over a year bought a house with his wife and moved to Pittsburgh. We have met a few people and had several tryouts, even had someone play with us for several weeks. But, we want to find the right person to be a member of the band. We have a good set list of original material written so far and our goal is to play together for long term, release music on vinyl, play locally and tour short trips or maybe longer as schedules allow. we have an acoustic drum kit set up at our practice space, you don't need to bring your whole rig. we're all vaccinated and ready to play live, as soon as you learn the material. Our music isn't political at all, but it would be difficult/impossible to be conservative and be in our band, just being upfront.
