My band is seeking a drummer to help complete a five track ep and begin gigging. Our band members live in Watford, south London and I live in East Midlands but have a car and commute down to our practice site quite easily.
Over the last 5+ years we have been working together making songs but we have always struggled in the drum department. Currently the rest of the lineup is pretty set and we are all close friends and have been for many years. We are aiming to get a 5 track EP out there and already have 2 songs finished, recording the third in the coming months.
We have our own music recording set up in a cabin in our bass players back garden (Watford) and are currently expanding this to have a vocal booth extension to improve the sound quality of our vocal recordings.
We send our raws away to be mixed by a producer that has worked with bands such as upon a burning body. By doing the recording in house we feel it allows more money to be spent on the mixing and mastering quality hence a better final product by outsourcing the raws to a professional. The reason we have never got round to gigging is we have always missed that vital key to getting a great live sound (good drummer)
Our aim currently is to finish the 5 track and then focus on improving the live sound and start gigging. We require somebody (preferably 25-35years of age) who can contribute to writing the drums for the EP, which will set them up to start playing the drums live once the ep is finished. The drummer needs to be able to write midi drums and be willing to have these midi drums altered slightly in sections based on band decisions on what everyone feels the best thing is for the song as whole. If you are able to write other midis (synth, ambience etc) that can help give the song a boost in sections too or able to contribute to the structure of songs that would be helpful, but not essential.
If you are interested send me a private message and if you give me your whatsapp number I can send you one of our songs through there to see if you like what we do.
Being honest, progress might be a bit slow in the first 6 months as I have other work-related commitments and I do all the recording side of things on cubase. After September I will be free to give my full attention to completing the EP
Look forward to hearing from you \m/
