Hi,
I'm looking for a great drummer
for a collaboration. Backing vocals a bonus!
Commitment to the project essential (Make first musical priority, as will I)
Driving licence and own transport a must.
A bit about me. I am an experienced guitarist and musician. I have been involved in a number of bands and projects in the past. I have played venues and festivals (fairly) large and small in the past.
My live pinnacle so far is doing a recording session at BBC Maida Vale for Radio 1 broadcast. That was a few years ago now as a session guitarist.
Over the last five years or so, I have been honing my craft as a songwriter and singer. Playing as a solo artist with a band also. Have played local festivals and BBC Introducing session.
I feel that now it is time for a new challenge. I have learnt a lot from my solo experiences and obviously playing with numerous artists and bands over the years. I have flirted with other types of music, but rock music is in my heart and I listen and think about it a lot. It was my first love and a lasting one. Call it an obsession!
I have been writing endlessly over the last few months and have plenty of material to work on.
I am looking for a partner in crime (drummer) 20-40 (approximately) who is a good musician, has some experience in performing and writing. Is enthusiastic, and shares my vision for creating something awesome!
Think Zeppelin, Sabbath, Royal Blood, Soundgarden for stylistic references. Huge riffs that will rattle your bones and bring the house down. I have developed a huge guitar sound to fill enough space for bass and 2 guitars!
If this sounds good to you, please drop me a line with a bit about yourself, your experience and your ambitions.
I have included links to a few rough sketches for stylistic ideas. My new ideas have developed since recording these, but my aim is to play together, jam, and let songs come from this process. (Obviously these need development). These are just a few of many, more ideas I have up my sleeve to work on.
