Dream-pop/Shoegaze Band looking for Drummer

Marietta GA

Description

Supp craigslist killas! 😎 Newly formed Dream-pop/Shoegaze band seeking a Drummer. My name is Ryan(Bassist) and my friend Shane(Lead Guitarist/Keyboardist/Producer) and we have been talking about starting a band and have recently decided to pull the trigger on it! Our goal is write music, then produce that music at our home studio in Marietta and gather connects so we can start playing shows in and around Atlanta and potentially go further. Bands we're into: Holy Wave, Mild High Club, CASTLEBEAT, Beach Fossils, King Gizz, Sunbeam Sound Machine, Vacations, Tame Impala, Homeshake, Mac DeMarco, Mr. Elevator, Hibou, Ringo Deatharr, Slowdive, Pond, STRFCKR, DIIV, Washed Out, Acid Dad, Allah-las, MGMT, Wild Nothing, Deserta, Slowdive, etc. We're looking for a drummer that can drum very comparable to these artists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LxU0PrsAFQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQH2Kq1QXaI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kY8teCHVqI First and foremost, we are not looking for a Metallica or Arena Rock drummer, nor are we looking for a Neil Peart or Dave Grohl. 😅 If you listen to those artists above on Youtube, it's not super complicated drums, however it can be repetitive drumming so "patience" is a major characteristic we're looking for. A couple songs we've made, however are very fast and require fast drum fills so in conclusion, we're looking for a drummer that can play simple beats(even if that same beat is played for 2min straight) to fast fills! It's dream-pop and shoegaze music, it's dainty and quaint. It's simple, It's not hit the drums hard and play loud. 👈😎 Both Shane and I have a good 10-12 demos already made which are all fully structured out songs from start to finish which are going to help us get the ball rolling quick. We've both established it'll actually be most resourceful to simply begin work on music that is already arranged and composed. That being said, if you're not the type of person that is willing to conform to other peoples' ideas, designs, thoughts, dreams, visions then this project is decidedly not for you. However, Shane and I are all ears to hear your suggestions too for Drumming ideas, music, opinions! I also want to assure you that we've got some promising reviews in regards to our demos from friends, coworkers, family, online, random strangers at bars, etc. I can reassure you that these demos are great compositions. To put painly, they're fun! Super energetic, they have life and none are boring, that's if you're into Dreampop music. I will send you the demos right away for you to listen to as soon as you respond to my email! We rehearse at Shanes house in his basement which is large and spacious. We do not have a drum set. However, Shane is about to buy a drumset within the next couple weeks We are looking for someone that preferably does own their own drum set, lives in a house and has the capability to practice their drums during their free time. What I mean by that is you have no limitations to when and where you can practice on your own at home. An example of this was when I was in this band years ago with a drummer that lived in an apartment. Therefore, he was unable to rehearse except for at band practices at our house or face eviction. All was good at practice, but when we hit the studio to record his drums, we noticed he was off.. a lot and inconsistent with timing and velocity so we concluded that the issue was that he was not getting enough practice on his own time. In all, you can't just be coming to band practice for 4hrs and expect that's when all the magics gonna happen. You have to consistently practice on your own time to get better and learn our material. So yes, we are looking for someone that owns their own drum set, lives in a house and can practice once a day during their own free time. We play in Marietta. I'm 29 and Shane is 30 and we're looking to play with members in our age range. We rehearse on Sunday nights and on Tuesday nights! Also you must be close(within 30min) of Marietta. We are talking to a couple potential singers right now. However, not only are we looking for members, we're looking for friends to add to our group! Every band I've ever been in we've always been really close and I still hang out with a lot of previous members. We both have energetic, hardworking personalities and are fun guys to be around with a talent for writing music. If you're interested, send us: -Samples of you drumming if you have any(even if it's a phone recording) -Your email address so I can send you our music -A little bit about yourself and experience -What kinda drum set do you have? -And Face-shot or picture of you 👍 Respond to my CL email and I will get back to you quickly! If everything sounds good then let's first meet up for a beer or five! 😁 Thanks! ~Ryan
