ABOUT

IG: JoePdrums

Im a 33yr old drummer who has been playing off and on for over 20 years now. To be honest I dont really use this website and just now updated it after 5 years. So with that being said, I respond faster through IG vs BandMix.

I have since changed my musical directions due to personal changes in my life and ability to make music. At this moment im only capable of doing small trio type projects in the Jazz/ Indie/ Alt Rock realm. Heavier music is a passion but finding committed members let alone musicians with proper gear is just not worth the hunt anymore especially with the current trends in metal that do not personally appeal to me at all, outside of maybe Doom but would need a refreshing twist on it.

So if it comes down to 2-3 core members, im just going to stick with simplicity at the moment. I currently work with my brother who does guitar and bass but mainly focuses on guitar. He’s excellent and we’re unfortunately a package deal {most good bands are :p} since we both came from metal and now pursue the same interests in different music.

Its all fresh at this point starting from nothing with new music and no influences to cloud our vision. Hit me up on IG, especially keyboard players who can do both lo-fi/ jazz/ synthwave. I dont do garage style jams with amps and raw drums, we use a live mixer with rack gear and headphone units in a home studio environment for the sake of audio preservation and hearing XD But we can meet at a practice space if only option with minimal gear.
