Reggae & Ska band/musicians in need of a drum beat!

J Clyde Morris near Jefferson Avenue, Newport News VA

Description

I'm a guitarist/singer and I'm currently playing with a couple other musicians (keys and bass). We mainly rock the reggae -- really all sorts of the stuff from the classics, through dub, and some later stuff. We also dig ska and rocksteady tunes and throw some in whenever we can! We are looking for a drummer who can lay down a solid beat for each of our reggae/ska styles. We each have different musical backgrounds but come together this vibe. This means that we aren't against genre-jumping however, you gotta be able to hold down the dub, one-drop, cross-stick, rocker, etc., etc., etc. We aren't really looking to make a living on this stuff but we are willing to play out probably once or twice a month. Of course we don't mind the pay, we are just in this for having fun and putting good stuff out there. Just keep that in mind when thinking about what frequency of gigging you are looking for. We have a jam space out in Suffolk but would also be willing to travel to where you are if you have space -- lugging drums can be a pain.... we get that. So, there are some options. We don't have any real recordings yet but to give you a taste of my vocals and guitar here is my previous project: https://soundcloud.com/charlatones/sets Hopefully this gives an idea of some of my personal sound/influences. If you're game hit me up and let's have some fun!
