I hope you are doing well.
Firstly, our name is DBE and with a couple of musicians based in Oxford we have recently started jamming together. We have some prior on stage or studio recording experience and we are currently hiring a studio in Oxford for practice once a week for 4 hrs.
We are looking for percussionist with or without prior stage/ studio experience. We are looking to incorporate the earthy and vibrant sounds of various percussion instruments such as djembe/ bongo/ conga etc.
We currently have a lead guitarist, a bassist and a rhythm guitarist/ vocals and a drummer (we also frequently interchange instruments depending on the songs). I wouldn't necessarily say that we have a certain type of genre that we play. But at this stage our sound is very open to influences. We come from various mix of musical influences.
If I were to put my finger on it, I would have to say the sound is leaning towards Desert rock/ Trip Hop/ Groovy beats/ Blues/ with influences from rock, EDM etc. It is a bit of an amalgamation of sounds but is beginning to sound great.
The objective is to get tight and then do some studio recordings of cover/ originals and then perform live in and around Oxford to start with.
Age is not something we focus on too much. But if you do, then we range from mid 20s - early 30s (male). Due to our daily commitments practice is usually restricted to evenings/ weekends (Sundays).
So, if you are interested in trying this out then drop me a message. We can book in a couple of sessions with you to see if this works for you and vice versa.
