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 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, Cathedral Bells, Mac DeMarco, Mr. Elevator, Beach House, Neon Indian, 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 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 We're are not really 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 drumming and it's usually repetitive drumming so "patience" and knowing how to hold a solid beat are 2 major characteristics we're looking for. 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 5 demos which the three of us all agreed are best and are currently working on. We've all established it'll actually be most resourceful to simply begin work on our music that is already arranged and composed, rather than try to come up with music on the fly at rehearsal. We rehearse at Shane's house in his basement which is large and spacious. We have a full drumset 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 on. What I mean by this is you have no limitations to when and where you can practice. That is 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 solid 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, a deep passion for indie/dreampop music and want to start playing shows early summer. We are looking for a 4th that also shares those same visions. If you're interested, send us: -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 6 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
