FinnDave Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I know we like to make fun at drummers here, but as bass players, they are our brothers in rhythm, and we can't do without them. Unfortunately, our drummer can't make one of our bank holiday gigs, we had a dep lined up but he has injured his leg and will be out of action, another who has played with us before is flying back home to the Falkland Islands a few days before the gig, yet another is already booked.... So, if anyone knows a capable drummer, there is a paid gig going in North Oxfordshire on the 29th August. Blues rock based, all straighforward material, set list, recording of set, oppportunity to rehearse with the band a few days before the gig. Plus. of course, appearing with our name singer, Jenny Haan. Further details on request. Our drummer is the only member of the band we have had to find deps for in the past, so it is quite likely that if we find a drummer who fits in, they may well be called on again (our man is planning several weeks away over Christmas/New Year). Please ask around the drummers you know. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Many thanks to everyone for their suggestions, all of which have been saved for future reference (drummers can be so unreliable!) but we have now found someone able to do the gig that at least one of us has played with previously, which adds to peace of mind. Cheers all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
