Is this what you think you’re looking for in a drummer?
• I have the most outrageous, super-tornado, top-flight gear
• My chops are in the most extreme shape they’ve been in years
• I can handle millions of patterns and time signature fluctuations
• I kick butt back there
• I’ve got screaming wheels for transportation
• I want to rule the drumming world
• I can handle any genre – any time, any place, better than anybody
• My drummer heroes have been to the moon and back
• I need to play 24/7
• I’m technical, yet poetic
Or, are you more interested in this because it just might make more sense?
I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the meaning, style of music (feel-good-out-on-the-dance-floor songs from the 60’s through the present that are in the genres of classic rock, blues, R&B, some country, and some funk) and direction of what your band is attempting to accomplish.
I will pay attention to what there is right in front of me, always humbling myself to the overall desires of the collective effort.
I will show up to practice on time, ready to go, and never try to upstage anyone.
I will play for the true value of the song.
I will hold back when necessary; I will push and punch when appropriate.
It would be great to find a project that plays out a few times a month on a regular basis.
I am motivated to do what it takes to make it work.
