Looking for an extremely competent metal/mathcore drummer
| Message Board > Music Chitchat - Heavy > Looking for an extremely competent metal/mathcore drummer |
| RoboCoup User Info... | I put this post on the Seeking Musicians, but I figure that it can't hurt to try here as well. I'm looking for an enthusiastic drummer to record an epic tech metal album with. Must be able to read music, or drum notation to a degree, play odd time signatures and play with advanced syncopation(beat displacement and modulation and the such). Good double kick is also pretty essential for the project. I'm currently sequencing the drum lines for the tracks, just so that I can start recording as soon as possible, but I'd like to have the real thing on the finished product. All of the other musicians are already in, and we're really excited to get this project off the ground. The basic lineup is: me on bass, acoustic guitar, and low vocals, a guitarist, who also doubles on keys, vocals and violin if he'll agree to bust it out, and a singer who plays guitar very well when needed. We're all really laid back, but motivated guys, and the project should be a lot of fun. For an idea of what it'll sound like, I've been listening to a lot of Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders, The Faceless, and Protest The Hero, but don't expect it to be too much like any of those, because I'd like it to be our own. I have literally hundreds of pages of scores written for the project already, and would love input on writing more. I also just spent $4500 on recording gear, and have access to great drum mics, so my schedule for when we'd record is completely flexible. Thanks for reading this drawn out post. Reply, or e-mail me if you interested, or know anyone who would be. Hope to hear from you soon. -Benjamin Arscott - Thu, 11 Feb 2010 8:58pm | ||
| Tophet User Info... | HA! Good luck with that there buddy! Good drummers around here are about as rare as steak tar tar! If u haven't found anyone yet gimme a shout. All though I can barely read drum notation I could probably do it by ear and the notation. Aaron - Sat, 13 Feb 2010 6:57am | ||
| RoboCoup User Info... | You can learn how to read drum lines pretty quick. What type of metal are you into playing? Any major influences? - Sat, 13 Feb 2010 5:15pm | ||
| ✞ophet User Info... | I used to read basic drum tabs in high school. As far as my metal influences go.....I like something from every main type of metal. mainly into back/death and thrash. Some power, lots of classic. For the kind ur talking about, Martyr, that new faceless is pretty good, necrophagist, yadda yadda. there's a million band logos flying in my head when I try to write them down. But my biggest influences would be (for the drums) rush, cryptopsy, nile, nick barker, trym from emperor, newer behemoth, tool ect. - Sat, 13 Feb 2010 8:37pm | ||
| RoboCoup User Info... | I'm also looking for a second guitarist who has or would be willing to play eight string. Excellent rhythm chops would be necessary. - Tue, 30 Mar 2010 1:44am | ||
