Progressive Rock Drummer/Percussionist Needed

Description

If you're an experienced drummer and percussionist, and you're into the progressive rock of the 1970s, this might be an opportunity for you. After almost a year and a half of enforce inactivity, we're re-forming "usandthem"; a Pink Floyd tribute band, and we're looking for an unusual drummer to fill out our lineup. Of course, it would also be really great if you could also contribute vocally, but as you can probably appreciate, what we need - primarily - is a drummer who is able to control their volume and dynamics to a fairly sophisticated degree; this is a show band, so it's vital that the percussion fit in with the other instruments, and not be "out front", as it were. You'll obviously also need to be conversant with other-than-basic time signatures - 7/8 would be the most obvious example - and be able to switch between tempos smoothly. Please don't be like the (very nice) fellow who I spoke to awhile back, who told me that he "just does straight 4/4 time - don't go in for any of that fancy stuff!" Professional attitude is a must; age is not as important, but for the record - and if it matters - you'll be playing mostly with musicians who listened to that stuff when it was new, when we were young adults - 'Nuff Said. Now let me clear about this: we're not going to be playing originals - this is a tribute act, so if you're looking for someplace to share your artistic vision with the world - this ain't it! However, if you'd like the chance to make some decent money, playing a couple hours a night in a class venue (as opposed to being the new, 4-hours-per-night house band at the "Dew Drop Inn", working for $100, split up 5 ways) - in other words, if you'd actually like to be a professional (i.e. "paid") musician for a change - then maybe this is for you. Send me an email or give me a call or text if you're interested, and we'll talk. Thanks.
