Drummer wanted to join a new blues rock power trio or possible duo. I am a currently a solo artist and work full time in music. I'm looking to put together a band to play my original music in addition to a few appropriate covers.
The style is based on the British Blues/Rock sixties boom updated to include modern influences like for example Royal Blood, White Stripes. As a guitarist I am quite expressive, Jeff Beck is probably a good reference (someone did once describe me as a mixture of Clapton and Satriani). Hopefully, that gives an idea. I am happy to send music and videos etc. Just want to filter out people who haven't read the ad or aren't suitable first.
I'm looking for a drummer in the style I mentioned above. Your suitability for the music is the priority, I'm not too fussed about appearance, age, etc. Ideally, I would prefer someone who could play a range between a frenetic style to a subtle more sparse arrangement. Someone like Ginger Baker would be perfect. I'm also happy to share vocal duties if that is something you are interested in.
Also highly important is availability and commitment. I'm going to be very picky with this project. In the past, I have had trouble finding musicians who have been reliable. Having availability during the day for rehearsals would be beneficial. On a similar subject, I can't afford to pay for session players at first, hence why I am advertising in this manner. Any fees which are received, though, would be shared equally.
I will try to respond to as many messages as I can. If I don't it probably just means that I already had a message from you before, or that I thought you might not have read the ad fully.
