Drummer Wanted – 2 Piece Alternative / Punk Rock Band (Seattle)
QR Code Link to This Post
The sound I’m chasing sits somewhere around Japandroids, Jimmy Eat World, The Menzingers, and The Gaslight Anthem — upbeat alternative/punk rock with big choruses, driving drums, emotional energy, and songs meant to be played loud.
The initial idea is a 2-piece setup (me: vocals/ guitar/ bass + you: drums/ vocals), but I’m open to eventually expanding into a 3 or 4 piece if that feels right.
Looking for someone who:
- Has solid drumming ability / decent chops and can play with confidence and energy
- Can play tight, hard-hitting drums that can carry a stripped-down, high-energy sound
- Bonus if you can do backing vocals (whoa ohs, yeah yeahs, gang vocals, simple harmonies, shouted parts, etc.)
- Wants to write original music
- Appreciates melodic punk, alternative rock, and energetic live performance
- Is reliable and interested in building something serious, not just casual jams
- Has recordings/videos available to share so I can get a sense of your playing style
About me:
- 45 years old
- Guitar / Vocals
- Experienced musician and songwriter
- Looking for someone roughly 35–55 years old (similar stage of life and musical influences)
- I live in Queen Anne and typically rehearse at Evolution Rehearsal Studios in Bellevue, but I’m open to other options
- I already have original songs written/demoed so we can hit the ground running
- Interested in writing, recording, and eventually playing shows if the chemistry is right
- Not trying to reinvent the wheel — just want to make honest, energetic music with the same kind of excitement and authenticity that made us fall in love with this stuff in the first place.
