big drums, little money in Clinton
Drummers: You have the talent to play great music, but family and serious (non-music) career take priority. Rehearsals about once weekly, 1 to 4 gigs monthly. You want to play harder music than most 'seasoned' musicians are playing these days. We make no money, but we leave those 'nothing' gigs still pretty contented because you know we just played some incredible music. You're easygoing and in your 40s or 50s like us. You can commit to this one band. Did I mention there's no money? We've turned away great drummers who couldn't come to terms with that idea. BUT if you like this style of music, this will be one of the most musically rewarding bands you will ever join. Let's talk.
