A dynamic (sensitive to venue and audience) swing/rock dance orientated drummer, with own transport (not dependant!) needed.
Sadly our steady drummer has decided to go to the 'dark side' and perform doing jazz work and working close to home only.
Age range varies form early 30s to early 60s.
This has left us with our multi-instrumentalist to cover on drums. Although good, he has assured the band repeat bookings, he is a 'covering' drummer that can rock and swing and is instead more a bass and keys specialist.
We play swing blues and rock, some country, rockabilly Elvis material, upto CCR, Doobies, Queen, Beatles, Hendrix and Stones numbers and are looking for someone who can make people dance. So, yes, Retro... but in high demand!
Our work is around the whole of the home counties (less so Essex and Kent!) and range out to Reading, Oxford, Aylesbury, Hoddesdon and Edmonton.
Please do check the band out on Youtube (Metros play Canbury, Metros at Shootpool Aylesbury, Metros at the Drapers Ealing).
Although the band is tight it's because we do a lot of live work, which sadly means we have little or no time to rehearse and we have done it/ performed these numbers for a long time. Importantly we have no, no, no... 'ego' issues, everyone hangs loose and occupies their 'space' as fully as they can, constructive criticism allowed only!
I hope that you may be interested. Our need for a good drummer is great, our work load can vary but can also be demanding,(Quite often back to back gigs at week ends) yet is very satisfying when we get repeating gigs at good venues, which is happening a good deal now!
If interested please can you tell me the bands you have performed with, venues played at and also provide good quality Youtube links of your performances.
