DA is urgently seeking a drummer. While we do not consider ourselves a heavy metal or NWOBHM band and are not musically affiliated or influenced by Iron Maiden, our music features a strong groove and a clear rock and roll surge of power. We also explore gothic soundscapes and incorporate prominent keyboards. Our creative process is collaborative and experimental, as we develop new ideas and compelling riffs together.
Drummer requirements: Candidates must be comfortable using an in-ear click track and be able to trigger backing tracks in sync with the song’s tempo. Some double bass drum work is required, though a double bass drum kit is not necessary. The ability to collaborate on ideas and maintain a relaxed 4/4 beat to support riff development and song learning is essential. Rehearsals will take place in the Ashford Kent area and at a rehearsal room near the QE2 bridge. Candidates are expected to learn the music in advance and should not rely on cues from the singer.
DA has partnered with a leading industry PR company to release two singles with accompanying videos, followed by their debut album in April 2026. The PR campaign will primarily target the UK, with additional outreach to US and European radio and press. Under the PR company’s guidance, the band will be introduced to the industry through Haulix EPKs. From this advertising we would hope to secure professional support slots and primarily start setting up our own ticketed headlining events.
