I'm currently recording a studio-produced album with Paul Tavenner of Big City Recording. Unfortunately, I have to record all of the instruments myself. But I have a great bassist from a previous band standing by and have located another good guitarist. Generally, I use rendered drum sequences, comprised from various samples. But right now, I'm looking for a drummer that's familiar with the Thrash Metal/Progressive style.

Equipment List:

I predominantly use my Marshall JVM with a 1960 vintage cabinet for recording, accompanied with either my custom Fender American Deluxe Strat, scalloped B.C. Rich Warlock, Mockingbird, or Gibson Robot Guitar.

In regards to your equipment, I'd prefer if you had a drum set that could be associated with the Thrash/Progressive sound, but if not, I/the studio can provide one.
