Don't need to tell you who I am!
Just looking for someone who has the look .... sound and attitude.
I cked u out! Yea ... your are a solid drummer, on another project you would work out perfectly. Your recordings not of great quality but I can here your solid.... as for us.... not really what we are looking for. Don't get offended. Every band has their own thing going. Yea.... I can respect what your doing. Would I hire you for studio work .... HELL YA!
Just to bring you up on things....
The guys we are going to replace.... are still with the band. We have to honor contracts.... Therefore, I cannot disclose who the group is. You being a professional, I'm sure you would understand that.
If you read the topic about girl friends you will see what our problems are.
Seems you want to play a guessing game then huh?
First - I didn't ask for an assesment of my abilities from you, I don't know ior respect your opinion especailly in an open forum - have some class about yourself and your private venture OK. If your here to shoot people down because they don't fit your were a touring band rock-star criteria, a criteria your being completely vauge about then grow up!, most people here don't have an interest in touring anyway or your critique of their abilities and talent.
Lets get a glimpse of your talent, huh? how about an MP3 we can here?
I know plenty of touring "WEEKEND"bands that positively suck!!!
Especially hair band heads.
Second - recordings were not engineered by me, that isn't the priority to my MP3 demos. Although my best friend owns one of the studios you listned to and can blow you away on guitar or bass.
Third--OK, yes I understand about commitmnets and contracts, but if your advertising , you are going about it the wrong way. First - contact your management agency and have them do your leg work.
And my God,, advertise where professional working musicians are looking & located - Use Billboard Ads Homer.
Forth- Most "working" bands have several players who can fill in or fit in, hell I've down it a few dozen times.
I probably smoke your current drummer as I can double bass with one foot, i don't need two..

I have a day job that pays more than you could pay me, and you could provide no benefits or retirement income as my current gig does and I'm now 49 and have already done the 80's road thing. I am a drum instructor now and part timer.
