Drums.

ABOUT

We are an experienced cover band based out of Elk Grove. We obtained a new drummer in 2020 so we changed our name from our original band so you'll see that our logo says "Established 2020" however the core has been together since 2009. Recently we again lost our drummer due to personal reasons so now we are in search of a new one. We are in our late 50's, all retired with steady income. We only gig 8-12 times a year and prefer quality gigs over the quantity. We do not do this to put food on the table however we like getting paid for our services. We are in search of a drummer that has solid fundamental chops, you don't need to have Neil Peart chops, or Tommy Lee flash but you need to have exceptional time keeping and dynamics as well as knowing the signatures of the tunes we're covering. We strongly prefer a drummer that has vocal abilities with exceptional harmonies but at this time it's not an absolute must. We have a full PA with your own separate monitor mix that you can adjust from the comforts of your throne. Currently we have Bassist/lead vocals, Keyboardist/rhythm guitarist(alternates as needed)/lead vocals, Lead guitar/background vocals. We pride ourselves in good tight harmonies however we lost the 3 parts harmonies with our drummer, we'd like that back. Best of all we're a laid back bunch, everything is funny and we like to have a good time. No drugs, social drinkers. We all have other interests and families that come first but when we get together we take it serious. Let's face it, these days it seems political identity is a big thing, we tend to ride the middle but the woke need not apply. Also before you ask, we don't do originals. Not that we're opposed to the idea however, the crowd isn't interested. If this sounds good then please tell us about yourself and we'll set up an audition. Have a good one.
