Hi my names Tom,
I’m 22 and I’m from Hereford. I'm a Grade 8 Drummer and I'm looking to join an experienced and active band. I have been playing drums since the age of 9, I previously gigged for 5 years between the years of 2013 and 2018. My last band having been a couple of years ago at the end of 2018. I travelled all over Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Wales gigging at many different venues, you name it I’ve played it. I have sessioned in EP's and been the drummer for house bands but have never played nationally or toured. I gained a lot from previous experience but I am now looking to further expand my drumming into a career.
I studied for 3 years at an Arts College to gain a Musical Diploma so I want to use my knowledge from this to help myself and others. I've not played any shows for the last few years but practice regularly and I’m keen to get myself back in the game . My personal drumming style Is improvisation as is what I enjoy best. However, I am looking for experienced musicians that have similar styles as I have and would rather make their own music than be labelled as a covers band. The music that I enjoy are as follows:
Foo Fighters
Coldplay
Kasabian
Kaiser Chiefs
Paul Weller
Green Day
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Kings of Leon
The Killers
Paulo Nutini
Arctic Monkeys
Plan B
If you don’t mind, I have a couple of questions:
• How long have you been playing for?
• How much previous gigging experience have you got?
I would like to add that I will be looking for reliable musicians who are serious about making a name for themselves and to be playing shows at least every other weekend if not more, (touring etc). You'll need to be able to be flexible as I will also be and have your own gear and transport, as do I. Rehearsal space will have to be arranged and payed for if needs be as I myself have no access.
