We are a progressive-rock project from Sweden by the name Windom End. We are looking for a drummer to lay down the drum tracks for our album. What we´re searching for is someone with access to a studio (home or professional). We´re looking for a drummer in the vein of the likes of Ian Mosley (marillion), Fudge Smith (ex. Pendragon) & Gary O’Toole (Steve Hackett). Windom End are a progressive rock prodject concisting of two members. The material for the album is prog in the vein of Marillion, Pendragon, Arena, Ayreon & IQ and is already written and demo-recorded with programmed drums. Partts of our demos can be found at our myspace-site www.myspace.com/windomend. If you find this interesting please let us know here or at our myspace. Cheers /Pierre - Windom End ------------- www.myspace.com/windomend |

you can start a thread in the Prog Polls forums asking "how many of you can distinguish a drum machine from a real human drummer." After that, just save yourself some effort. Use a drum machine. |

A drum machine is decent for a demo, but if they're planning on playing live ever, it'd be a good idea to get a drummer. I mean, going in between session players isn't the best idea for an up and coming band. Sorry, I can't help on this one. -Joel  -------------

At one time all you needed to get the drum stool in a band was to have a van - you didn't need to be any good at it

^ That's actually how Bill Bruford joined Yes. It's just fortunate he was also really kick-ass!  |

I'm a drummer, but I'm afraid the style you're looking for is entirely different than my extremely off-the-wall drumming approach.

That reminds me, Alex. It looks like I may have to resort to using many different drummers in order to track all of the songs for my own project in time. Feel like taking a shot at a few tunes as they develop? Of course, you can say no. It won't hurt my feelings, or notin'.  |

I would definitely be up to it. Just don't expect anything normal. -------------

Hey guys, thanks for keeping the thread alive. :-) Our problem is that we're having a hard time finding a drummer that suits our needs and that's living in our area. The ideal situation would obviously be if a drummer in our region would be interested in playing prog with neoprog influences. And it's basically here we hit our first obstacle. Not a lot of musicians are actually into this kind of prog. I bet we would get a drummer if we played tech-prog-metal or oldschool prog (70s style). Either we'll have to pay a professional session drummer to do the job and this will of course cost quite a lot of money which we don't have or we'll start a serious hunt in the local music shops or something. It's quite frustrating actually. Anyone got any good ideas on how to get in touch with the good drummers that are into progressive rock and are not occupied with other bands? ------------- www.myspace.com/windomend |
