DRUMMER.... seeking others

Fort Collins CO

Description

Experienced and hard-hitting drummer, 40s, available for rehearsals with an established band OR a solid guitarist and bassist of similar age and ability. I have been actively playing since I was 10. I've played on original compositions that I helped create, cover bands, tribute bands, and have done lots of live and studio gigs. I am primarily influenced by heavy guitar- based music from the days of "yester-year"- when music had balls and substance. I really don't like many bands that emerged after 2000, with few exceptions. My focus and playing style draws alot from heavier bands from the 70s and 80s...(Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd, Deep Purple, Rush, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, The Who, Van Halen, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Judas Priest, UFO, Blue Oyster Cult, Scorpions, Cheap Trick) but I also like other music from that era as well. Not into doing all-originals, unless I'm part of the writing process. I'm also OK with banging out 15-20 covers that aren't overplayed or weak. Eclectic, deep tracks are what I'm going for as far as cover songs. I'm certainly not in this for the money, as this scene is pretty lame compared to places I've thrived as a musician earlier in my life. I'd just like to get a couple sets of music together and see where it takes us. Bars can wait- I'd rather play some tunes we like than play what's popular or "expected"... no thanks to that. Hit me up with a good phone number and let's chat to see if we're on the same page or not. I'm in no hurry to get this going- I'm seeking quality musicians that I am compatible with. That's whats most important.
