Seeking Drummer

27th Street near Old Cheney, Lincoln NE

Description

I am putting together a band. The ultimate goal is to play original but fill in with covers in the mean time. The covers will drop off as the originals increase. I have four studio recorded covers ready and have more started. I'm trying to connect with a dependable bassist who is up for a challenge. I will invest my time, energy, and resources into creating music and bring prepared and, our successful band, needs other musicians who practice at home and are prepared for practice and gigs. I am creating music that (I hope) will appeal to people who enjoy Breaking Benjamin, Theory of a Deadman, Nickelback, and Seether to name a few. I'm not out there to create music that fits my artistic desires or that is obsolete and obscure. I want to create music that makes people want to dance and play it on repeat. What I want to avoid is playing music that crosses many eras and genres. I feel bands with so much diversity struggle to appeal to a dedicated audience. I plan to have a specific sound that appeals to an audience that will be ours. Though I see a band as a brotherhood and ideally friendship, I treat this as a professional endeavor. It's absolutely a hobby but I feel that to be successful, and have the most fun by playing some awesome venues, we need to manage it well. An ideal drummer is skilled at listening to a song and playing the part as it is played, has stage presence, and enjoys performing. If you want an idea of the kind of music I'd like to play, try out Everlong by Foo Fighters. I understand that COVID is still a major concern and I hope this concern will not deter anyone from contacting me. How we handle this issue will need to be something we discuss as a group. We'll also have some time where we are getting together our set lists, learning songs, and putting our show together before we need to decide how we want to approach it. The safety of the band members and our families comes first. If this sounds like something you'd like to get involved with, please send me an email. I'm looking forward to talking with you.
