Wanted: drummer for a surf punk drum and bass noise trio

Citrus Heights CA

Description

Hey drummers/percussionists, I am looking for a drummer/percussionist to start up a surf punk drum and bass noise trio. As for myself, I am a 43 year old fingerstyle slap-pop bassist who's been playing since I was 12 and been playing a handful of projects since I was 16 down in SoCal. Moved to NorCal in 2005 and have lived in Santa Rosa, Oakland, Walnut Creek and now Citrus Heights. My wife, my 2.5 year old son, and myself moved to the area back in March 2020 and our household has now been fully vaccinated. I am technically proficient but I prefer to shoot for melodic syncopation instead of virtuosity. I strive for heavy contrast with clean cathedral lush washes against fuzzed out dissonant passages with both traditional rock instrumentation and modified folk instrumentation in unconventional formats. Think alternately-tuned basses, ukuleles, organ synth, melodicas, musical saw, paraphonic synth, soft synths, and granular sampler synth using field-recorded sounds. Since 2015, I have been heavily into my solo looping project and have been wanting to bring on more like-minded instrumentalists to push beyond the envelope of mediocrity and tradition. I'm just hoping to find more forward-thinking drummers and percussionists who care more about their craft than alcohol and drug use. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out as I would love to hear what you've been working on. Bryan
