Initial State
(Watford)
Monday 13 Jul 2020, 4:44pm
We are a 4 piece band currently looking to get a 5th on drums. This is a new project for the new year, we have all played and gigged extensively together and are looking to solidify all of our experiences and chemistry into one committed project. Our sound would typically be described as rock, hard rock, rock pop, some metal and classic pop - think foo fighters, stereophonics, kings of leon, thin lizzy, eagles, dire straits, the killers, arctic monkeys, rage against the machine - our repertoire truly is endless.
We will be doing covers songs typically about 2-3 hours of material at paid gigs to start off with. We already have the contacts and venue relationships to dive in headfirst with this. The idea is to eventually (No rush, it's important we gel as a unit first) move on to composing original music, a lot of which we have on stand by already.
We are looking for a committed drummer ideally between 20-35 with his own kit and transport (We all muck in as a rule to help the drummer move his sh*t at gigs and rehearsals), who is willing to learn a good list of covers and eventually help with the creative process.
I cannot stress this enough - the candidate MUST be up to scratch. We have had our fair share of sh*t drummers who talk a good game but struggle to do basics like keep a rigid tempo, or learn how to use dynamics for the good of the overall sound. This is not a teaching band and you will be expected to turn up to rehearsals knowing your parts, as we will be getting paid for our services and will hold a good professional standard.
Aside from that, we are an easy going group of lads who all work full time, but live and breathe music. We believe communication and working together to shape our sound is essential to delivering an absolutely bomb performance. We all have access to home recording equipment and a shared spotify playlist to practice the songs with.
We typically rehearse at RNR studios in Uxbridge but this can vary depending on locations day of the week etc. This is where auditions will be held.
If you want to play drums to a professional standard, have a great time, get paid and basically make this your second job, please give me a ring on the number below to find out about auditions. Happy new year!
