Drummer needed for established Trio

Lemont IL

Description

Looking for a new drummer to join Major Wheeler, a power trio of piano/bass/drums. We've been together for a few years now but our current drummer can't stay with the band. We are a piano-centric trio that currently plays cover songs and ideally at some point will incorporate some originals (I'm a songwriter). We are arranged similar to Ben Fold Five with hard rocking piano as the lead, lots of fuzz bass (our bassist is incredible) and solid drums. We play a huge range of covers. Some well known and some are just cool tunes. We have a full show prepared (30+ songs) and were aiming to start going live this summer. Looking for a drummer who can get up to speed quickly. We only practice once a week and work independently in between, so not looking for a lot of time commitment. I have an electric drum set we use at our rehearsal area (shows would be acoustic though). Ideal drummer would be experienced and able to get up to speed quickly. Good with improvising and rocking out as needed. Ideally early 40's or 30's. Could use someone who can do high range in 3 part harmonies. We have a pretty unique sound and approach to music and strive to not be your typical cover band. Our website features some of our work and more information about the band. www.majorwheelerband.com
