SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hello, my name is Graeme. I am looking to play drums a bit more at the moment, hit me up. I've gigged for .. uh .. 20 years now in various rock bands, from metal to lounge to psych to prog to noise, mostly on keys/guitar/bass.
Drums aren't my strongest instrument but should be able to stay in the pocket enough to hold down a rock groove! Could potentially swap instruments around a bit if drums weren't always suitable. I've played keys (organ, piano, rhodes, synths) a fair bit in live bands too, and done session work for keys a fair bit, although a while ago now. But but but, I wanna hit some drums! :)
If you are playing rock/blues/funk/folk/R&B/classic rock/90s alt/indie rock/garage/acoustic type stuff would be keen to jam. Age isn't really a concern but my preference is for someone with a bit of experience -- and not too much stamina, hah -- so probably mid-20s plus.
I'm in Yarraville (3013).
