Hard-Hitting Drummer Wanted - Shoegaze / Experimental / Psychedelic / Indie
Looking for a solid, hard-hitting drummer for a darker, dreamy, atmospheric project in the shoegaze / experimental / psychedelic / indie rock realm. Goal is to play live and record, with a casual vibe but a fast track mindset - I already have a lot of ideas established and ready to build on.
Influences / sonic world:
Cocteau Twins, Beach House, The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, The xx, Tobacco, Health, NIN, Tame Impala and similar territory - heavy, immersive, emotional, textural sound.
About the project:
Hard-hitting but dynamic drumming (feel > flash)
Experimental / ambient textures welcome
Looking for a go-to drummer for an ongoing working relationship
Casual and low-stress energy, but career-minded and focused
Goal is to release music (single / EP), play out live, and see where it goes
Possible TV/film/commercial music opportunities down the line
Remote collaboration to start is fine (home recording setup is a plus)
Playing to a click is great but not required
About me:
Early 40s, 20+ years professional music experience
Background in recording, production, and full arrangement work
Originally established in Los Angeles, spent the last 5 years in the Pacific Northwest, now in Texas
Guitar-based writer/producer with a strong vision and direction
Looking for someone with a similar music career mindset
VIBE:
Low maintenance, creative, fun but intentional. Build something real and see where it leads.
I may have a place where we can jam
If interested, send:
• Video or audio samples of your drumming
• Links to past projects (if available)
• A little about your background and goals
