So, you just get the new demo sorted after God-knows how long, and the drummer decides he jacking it in. I wonder why we fucking well bother sometimes!

Now the search for start all over again for someone in the locale who isn't (a) mentally unstable, (b) a pervert, (c) on remand, (d) averse to washing, (e) can string more than two words together, (f) an alky and finally, (g) can play the drums.

Wish me luck.

 

I know one. My 10 year old son. Whacks them skins like John Bonham with a Jazz swing feel.

But he's under 18 and not local.

Chilli doesn't mind them under 18 though.

Oh drummers? yeah, he prefers them above the age of drooling....

Let's answer the problems one at a time.

a) no chance

b) In Margate - no chance

c) In Margate - no chance

d) possible, but unlikely

e) no chance you want a drummerist

f) No chance, that's the first 12 drum lessons.

g) quite likely, but you'll have to get a drool bucket.

You're not going to believe this, but it's absolutely true: I've just got off the phone to a prospective drummer who's parting comment was to tell me that he had a wooden leg, which sometimes made it difficult on the hi-hat.

Well that's only a minor set-back in relation to the other issues you have already outlined.

  I have a mate with a wooden leg.
Hes ace.
we could throw darts at his leg when he was at the bar, all the womenz would be  amazed he didnt flinch!
We called him Bonk! All the womenz thought he had a massive hard on when he walked.
Them were the days. ps He was a good footballer but once he kicked my bird up the arse ,just to let  on! she said it didnt half hurt.

Oh, and the other thing was he'd been in a Cliff Richard tribute band, but the gigs dried up or were cancelled when Cliff's house got raided.

I had to stifle a laugh at that one.

DesVegas

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's winding you up

chillidoggy

I wish that were the case, but this is Thanet remember, and so its odds on that it's true.

mike_l

Or did his gigs dry up after his house got raided?

Sorry if it's been mentioned but what were his reasons..!?

I have a mate who is a great guitarist and has an artificial leg. Can't use a wah. I have memories of Hamburger Mary, a rock band in the West Mids whose fame rested entirely on having a one legged drummer.

We played with a female fronted metal band with a midget drummer once.

I guess these things happen..??

I'm loving my band but at the same time, I'd still love to travel abroad...

Would love to help, and I certainly can't play drums, but I'm afraid I can string more than two words together.

chillidoggy

By that, I assume you fit the remaining criteria, and therefore you are the new drummer!
