Drummer Needed For Working Band

Kansas City MO

Description

Classic rock with some other fun stuff thrown in the mix too. We play mostly bars, with a couple outdoor events in the summer and private parties here and there. We have 15 dates booked through the end of this year and the schedule will probably fill up a little more. We like to gig. 😊 Mostly in the general KC area, but sometimes we drive as far as Topeka, Warrensburg, or Maryville. You’re welcome to hitch a ride with one of us if you want (and it’s more fun that way!). We need a permanent drummer to give us a solid foundation. If you like to groove you’ll really like our bass player because he’ll lock right in with you. And our soundman will make sure the drums sound good and punchy out front. Backup vocals are a plus but not necessary – good drums are necessary. 😊 We’re all in our fifties and have similar musical influences and tastes. Your age is not important - the most important thing is that you can play solidly and with some maturity (and you don’t mind hanging out with a bunch of guys in their fifties). Some of the venues are pretty small and require a low volume so sometimes you’ll have to take it easy. Not all the time, but sometimes. You don’t need any gear other than reliable drums. We’ve got PA, monitors (in-ear if you want them), and lights covered. We’ve been doing this a while. 😊 We need you to get up to speed quickly. Gigs booked! We’ll provide you with recordings of both the original artists (so you can learn the parts) and our live recordings (so you can learn the endings). And charts too if you want them. We like to keep things kind of tight and fairly close to the original artists recording – we really don’t just jam. To audition, we’d like you to learn these songs Just What I Needed – The Cars Boys Are Back In Town – Thin Lizzy No Sugar Tonight – The Guess Who I Want You To Want Me – Cheap Trick If you’re interested please contact me with a little info about your experience and what you’re looking for. If it looks like a good fit we’ll set up a time to have a conversation and hopefully schedule an audition. Oh, and if you know someone that might be interested, please send this ad to them. 😊
