yo

my name is sean and I am a drummer. i play a mix of progressive/funk/reggae/ska and i would to find some like-minded musicians to jam and gig with. i would of course love to form a band, but i'm jaded by past band experience, so i feel it necessary to set some criteria:

-must be FOCUSED and determined.
- it would be awesome if you have some interest in the works of the police, bob marley, yes, sting, jaco pastorius, red hot chili peppers.
- it would be helpful to appreciate groovy, funky, bombastic drumming.

if you live in victoria and you would like to play some good music with a good drummer, please contact me.
thanks,

Hey bro, I'm interested for sure, I play guitar and sing, I haven;t done much vocally in the style you are looking for , but I have been looking to expand styles. I currently play hard/prog rock. You can hear some old stuff that I have done at http://www.myspace.com/wyrmwoodmusic I do guitar and vocals in this band or at http://www.myspace.com/thenew7percent where I just do vocals. Let me know if you want to get together and jam. You can get a hold of me @ [email protected] or just reply to me on here...either way works. Hope to hear from ya.

Hey Sean, you don't have much contact info on here anywhere, 'cept an email address I tried but it got returned.. any ideas..? :) here is the message I just emailed you to the address you've listed as yours in a couple places; "[email protected]" :

hi sean, my name is jordan, I answered your posting on livevictoria, I'm a drummer as well, who appreciates the reggae/police drumming. to answer your question, no I'm not in high school, been outta high school for awhile now..! I'm 34, been drumming on and off since I was 17 (not as dedicated as you I imagine..I've hardly ever drummed to the stereo for example.) been enjoying my new maple 'pacific drums and percussion' drumset, I only get to play it once a week at band practice though.

yeah maybe sometimes you could drum while I sing or something.. or if I couldn't make it to a show or practice or something, maybe you could fill in, if you wanted to do something like that; by chance my musician bro's are into similar things as you; reggae, funk, ska, etc. if that doesn't look like it would work, we could just get together and trade drumbeats once inawhile or something. I don't often meet other drummers, as I play on the drums in my band, I am more often on the lookout for horns, percussion, etc.. of course I have met drummers in my life, only need to go down to the local music store and hang out in the drum room..! haha

well, gotta run, just wanted to connect with you as I like the sound of your musical interests and stuff.

bye for now,

Hey Sean, yeah you don't have any contact info.

Anywho, my name is Nick. I'm 20, a guitarist and a vocalist. I love to play styles like jazz, funk, Ska. I'm also a big fan of the styles of Dave Matthews and John Butler. Definitely looking for a more serious project to work on. Give me a shout. - Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:39pm

sorry about that, I thought my e-mail address was already posted, but I guess I was wrong. The address Jordan said was up there isn't my e-mail address and i have no idea how it got there. Either way, my e-mail address is [email protected]. Nick, we should definitely jam, I love Dave Matthews. Send me an email or somethin'. - Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:37pm

Focus & determination ... divides the successful bands from the failures. Sounds like we might be looking for the same thing.

I'll shoot you an email... - Wed, 22 Apr 2009 1:19am Edited: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 1:24am
