Hi
We're currently a Female Vocalist, Lead Guitarist and Bassist looking for a Drummer for our covers band.
We're looking to enjoy what we do and play a variety of material which lends itself to rock guitar (but not metal). We're looking to gig (Covid permitting) but don't want to rehearse for months on end. Rehearsals are for rehearsing not for learning songs, chords or lyrics, so the ability to learn songs quickly is key and play them authentically (i.e. not cabaret style!). Backing vocals would be great but not essential.
Whilst age isn't important would probably suit someone 25-55. However the following are important:
Are you a good, versatile, steady rock drummer?
Do you have your own (decent) gear (acoustic or electronic)?
Do you have your own (reliable) transport?
Are you committed?
Are you a reliable team player?
Please note: Sorry but we're not interested in novices or ‘want to get back into drumming’ types, you need to be ready to go.
An example 'starter' song list is as follows;
Summer of 69 (Bryan Adams)
Back on the Chain Gang (Pretenders)
Brass in Pocket (Pretenders)
Ever Fallen in Love (Buzzcocks)
I Love Rock n Roll (Joan Jett)
Bitch (Meredith Brooks)
Black Dog (Led Zeppelin)
Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead O’Connor)
Because the Night (Patti Smith)
Zombie (Cranberries)
Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac)
Stop Draggin' my Heart Around (Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty)
When You're Gone (Bryan Adams/ Mel C)
Black Velvet (Alannah Myles)
We would expect you to know or learn ALL of these without exception in 1-2 weeks in prep for a rehearsal?
If so we look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers
Nige (Guitar)
