Calling Mature South West Essex/ London Drummers,
The Metros, formerly the Metro Blues Collective is a long standing outfit, having performed extensively across the Home Counties and Outer London over the past 10 Years.
It's a lively band with 80-90 songs in it's extended set list that is still getting bigger in order to try to meet eclectic tastes. It has it's own arrangements on covers, loosely based on original material. Gig venues range from the well know to the sometimes obscure, so flexibility and availability are essential.
Main band members are recently retired and worked in/ time served. We really need a drummer that can deliver those things below and who can craft his work to match venue needs in terms of skills/ fills and volume and who is strong enough to hold together a three piece.. Genres are as stated below but everything from the Who and Purple, to Johny Denver and Parton.
Needed: An experienced drummer with dynamic range adequate for pubs and clubs.
Genre range: Swing/ Jump Blues, Country, Country Rock/ Swamp Rock/ Rock.
Rehearsals: Possibly twice a week initially, certainly once a week regular at Mill Hill Studios.
Rehearsal times: Usually during week days 12-3/4 pm or Saturdays eves/ Sunday eves when not gigging.
Availability: Flexibility needed. The band varies in it's gigging outings from sometimes 6 gigs in the month to 2 per month.
Mobility and self reliance: Must have transport and be dependable enough to reach venues across the Home Counties and into outskirts of London.
Punctuality: Essential
Retired person: Preferable but not essential.
Need's to forward: Previous band names/ Youtube-other material showing work.
