Drummers and Bassists

ramfan5

Howdy. Just joined and decided that it would be no harm to put up a post.
Why are drummers and bassists so hard to find? I can't seem to find you
guys anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone help me?

we enjoy the weather under rocks

We are out there, but you have to find us...... were abouts you from? Have you advertised for musicians in your area?

Thanks for replying! Well I am in the Rathfarnham area and my current band is
a bit of a stete. Our bassist and drummer are doing the leaving and so we need to fill their vacancies. There was a lot of issues and commitment problems on top of more and more bull. At the moment the band consists of
two guitars, one also being singer. We are looking as I said for two ambitious
people like ourselves to make a go of things. To be honest it's a real pain in the ass looking for sound people who cut out the crap.We are into Down,Black Label,Pantera,Damageplan,Slayer to name a few. I don't want to bore anyone.

best thing you can do is post loads of Wanted signs in appropriate places, like the music shops in city centre etc.

Put up a sign in Eamoon Dorans.

Maybe its beacuse lots of people don't like your music . . . .

I'm sure there are lots of people who like his/her music aswell.

You'd think, my type being so rare and all, that I'd have a band. :rolleyes: I'm a bassist in fourth year if it helps.

So... anyone need a fifteen year old guitarist bassist in the Dublin area by any chance?

Bazz

It's because all bassists around Dub are teenies and never bother to learn to play the instrument properly, being too busy trying to be in a ****ty band.

Giblet

That was a very bitter statement.

Bazz

There's nothing bitter about it. It's fairly accurate though.

funky penguin

No its not. It's a generalisation

It wasn't me!

Maybe the ones you've known are like that, but it's a generalisation, and plenty of us can actually play.

crazy angel

funky penguin

Very true. But its also about respect.

And stickin' it to the man!!!!
