Dream-pop/Shoegaze Band looking for Experienced Drummer

Marietta GA

Description

Supp craigslist killas! 😎 Newly formed Dream-pop/Shoegaze band seeking a Drummer. My name is Ryan(Bassist) and my friends John(Vocalist/Guitarist) and 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 to 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, DIIV, Vacations, Tame Impala, Homeshake, Mac DeMarco, Mr. Elevator, Beach House, Hibou, Ringo Deatharr, Slowdive, Pond, STRFCKR, 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. 😅 As much as each of us love heavy metal, no metal drummers please. If you listen to those artists above on Youtube, it's not super complicated drums and it's usually repetitive drumming so "patience" is a major characteristic we're looking for. So if you're the "must play complicated intricate fusion drumbeats" drummer then this endeavor may not be for you. However, a couple songs we've made are very fast and require fast drum fills, which in the end are really energetic songs so there will be opportunities for fast drumming as not all our music is chill/slow bpm. Our ambition is to play only "fun" sounding music. The demos we are currently working on are definitely not boring. 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, it's dainty and quaint. It's simple, It's not really hit the drums hard and play loud. 👈😎 All of us have made countless demos in the past which are all fully structured out songs from start to finish which we believe are going to help us get the ball rolling quick. We've picked out 4 demos which the three of us all agreed are best and are currently working on. An Intro Song, a fast dream-pop song, a medium bpm shoegaze/chill song and an upbeat almost indie-pop kinda song. We've all established it'll actually be most resourceful to simply begin work on music that is already arranged and composed, rather than try to come up with music on the fly at rehearsal. Another big thing I'd like to cover is 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. In our band, you might find yourself drumming a beat that another member came up with. Now that probably won't be the case all the time. Essentially, we are looking for a person that is willing to at least try another members ideas/drumbeats rather than a member that immediately says "no" to everything. However, Shane, John 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, lively and none are boring. 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 have a full drum set made by Mapex with full drum mics as well as a home studio for DIY recording which Shane has experience in. 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. That is very very important to us because if you don't have a drum set at your house, how can you practice at home? We play in Marietta. I'm 29 and Shane is 30, John is 26 and we ARE 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. 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, had solid connections and I still hang out with a lot of previous members. We go out to bars, shows, festivals, etc. We all have energetic, funny, hardworking personalities and are fun guys to be around with a talent and ambition for writing music. We all 3 have very like-minded ideas and wanna put them to practice on how we want to make music and are looking for a 4th that also shares those same visions. 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/demos -A little bit about yourself and experience -What kinda drum set do you have? -Where do you live? -What is your age? -Face-shot or picture of you or your ig or fb page 👍 Please make sure you respond to those 7 questions or at least something like that. Just as you would for a professional job we're asking for some info on you. That's all! 😎 Respond to my CL email or text me If everything sounds good then let's all first meet up for a beer or five! 😁 Thanks! ~Ryan
