Here's the deal with me.  I'm a 27 year old singer / guitarist looking to start an online band.  I'll be leaving home in May to work in isolation at a very small town so I'm trying to get something started before that time.  After all I need a musical outlet wherever I go because if not I'll be bouncing just miles of hang time off the f**king walls.  I'm looking for a synthist, bassist, and drummer who can keep up.

Here's a video of me singing and playing Pull Me Under by Dream Theater to show I'm no joke.

What kind of music are you interested in making? I'm a keyboardist, but I'm more into atmospheric stuff and textures than shredding solos

Not that I want to overdo it with the shred but I'm certainly all for soloing.  I was hoping for a progressive metal band that doesn't sound like a Dream Theater or a Symphony X clone.

I know beggars can't be choosers but I was hoping for people closer to their mid twenties to early thirties who could commit to an online project.  Due to real life priorities I knew beforehand this idea was going to be a very slow process before I even get to start writing.  You could always get back at me, though.  The two of you could collab and get something finished, send the results to music college, and get scholarships before I even get started.

Oh, and Paroxix if you have a Guitar Hero World Tour drum kit or two you can connect them to your comp to make a crude electronic studio drum kit.  There is a better tutorial out there which allows use of the hat pedal but it's buried somewhere in Googleland.

I don't know what your policy is for torrents, everything I'm using I paid for, but you can download them to get a free 30-day trial of many different decent drum modules before you'd have to switch to something else or purchase one.  Have fun.

I might jam to the video but I do find the idea of an on-line band quite interesting. Smile

Hey I understand the problem of trying to find musicians to collaborate with these days. It can really be a daunting task.

The good news is, if you can afford it, GarageBand on the iPad2 is amazing if you want to be creative musically without having to depend on others.

My beef with the GarageBand setup is that I have to spend four times the amount of practice learning all the other instruments that need to be recorded.  It's not as if what I write for bass, drums, and keys are impossible to play.  It's just that after months of not playing those pieces for those instruments I forget them, which is a pain in the ass considering how much time I spent learning them in the first place.

I'd rather get something going via an online jam program, but that's just me.

I'm interested in doing this kind of work. I'm a keyboardist/guitar player and I'm no shredder at all. Mind you, how this thing would work? I have recording software and hardware and I'm really interested on creating something original with everybody's ideas involved. PM me if you are interested... 

If we share emails I can send you my music and recordings, Im Jampa and I'm 26 years old. Let's talk, maybe I already have a few ideas we can work with...

Fellow shred guitarist/bassist here, I can lay down tracks as well as come up with some nifty drums with the superior drummer VST.

I'm not sure what kind of keyboard sound you were looking for, but I do a little recording on my own. I can't eagerly commit to practices/gigs due to my evening work schedule, so maybe an online band would work better for me?

Examples (none really prog, more Rock/jazz/fusion, I guess)
