A Rather Unusual Request For GD

I live in the valleys in South Wales and I am trying to form a band. I have one problem, I can't find a drummer at all. I have put up several adverts (in shops and on-line) but don't seem to be having much luck at the moment.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can find (or kidnap) a drummer i.e. places to put adverts (on-line or irl) or (this is far less likely) maybe someone knows a drummer in the Cardiff area and is willing to sell them to me. Price is negotiable.

Re: A Rather Unusual Request For GD

As much as a lot of people dislike it I would advise that you use myspace...

Join all the local groups (especially the music orientated ones) and say you're looking for a drummer.
You should get quite a few replies...

the bringer of that invaluable piece of information was none other than,


ME!

I can assure you it is true as tom delonge went insane (literally) and thinks he is destined to save the world or something. So he formed 'Angels and Airwaves' and released a rather disappointing album.

I would love it if travis were in my band but there are two majo problems.

1) I've lost his phone number
2) He is already in another band with Blink bassist Mark Hoppus; Plus 44.

Otherwise I would say this is your best ever idea.

I think he lost any right to call himself a "true punk" (whatever that means) when he was in Blink. He's not a bad drummer though, at least as far as my uncultured ears can tell.

Re: A Rather Unusual Request For GD

For what it's worth, when I smack my head flat on the table it sounds a bit like a bass-drum.
Sadly I never get any further than three beats before I pass out.

Re: A Rather Unusual Request For GD

PM me your phone number / what genre of music you want to play / your vague budget and I'll pass it on to several drummers I know opparating in the Cardiff / S. Wales area.

(For those who don't know I'm at Music College as a drummer & giging / sessioning proffesionally)

I can play the drums. When do we start jamming?

What instrument do you play?


I've been in several rock bands for a while now. I think from experience, the best way to get a drummer/guitarist/etc. is actually going to local bands' venues regularly and start making friends with these musicians.

By networking face-to-face with underground bands, you will learn the talk, rumor and gossip of which bands are breaking up, or which guitar player is unhappy, or which drummer is looking for another band to play with, etc.

Or if you find a certain drummer to be outrageously good while watching these underground bands perform, you can maybe talk to him behind his band's back and try to recruit him on the spot.

If we were in the same town, I would love to play drums in your band, though I'm a lead guitar player

It's not the speed that counts, it's how many you can play in a semi quaver pattern (as in the example at the top of the url you posted to TK) in relation to the BPM (Beats per minute).

So for example, playing semi quaver paradiddles (1 paradiddle is 4 semi quavers, 4 semi quavers = 1 crotchet, 1 crotchet = 1 beat ) at 60 BPM means 60 paradiddles a minute. Being able to sit and keep the pace and accuracy up at 200 BPM is far superior to being able to stumble through them at 250.

As I told my pupils when I was teaching beginers and my tutors have all told (and still do tell) me, it's not about the speed, it's the accuracy that counts

But to answer the question horn, I would probably start wiht my metronome at 225 - 230 and work up till I got tired or bored
