My best friend (guitar) and a I (drums) have been playing music together for almost 7 years. We play a wide variety of music, but I guess you could say most of it is progressive metal. We like heavy stuff and all, but we aren't heavy just for the sake of it, so a lot of weird and complex stuff tends to come out. There are a few "ballads" in the mix as well. For some reason, we have always had trouble finding bass players and singers and the frustration is getting to a point that I have at times thought about quitting. I love playing shows, but it just isn't the same when you don't have a complete band (I know...I've tried). Maybe it has something to do with the kind of music we play or maybe it has something to do with the fact that we live in central Indiana, but I need to figure out something soon before I go crazy. Is everyone else have this problem or has somebody discovered the solution?
Hell No NEVER QUIT!!
You already got the hard part whipped. You got desire and you got da drummer. Nobody wants their kid playing the drums in the garage
The solution: Neverfuckinsurrender!
