ABOUT

Raining Thunder - Original Music and select cover rock-blues-fusion foundation band is seeking a dedicated career oriented drummer that does the homework cause you love music and have to play as much as possible and seeks to be in a great band with the same style of dedicated players. We get together on N. Camano Island currently.

Same goes for seeking a solid keyboardist that can double on some rhythm guitar as need for song list.

Our current drummer has medical issues and only has 2 Saturdays a month to either rehearse or gig. TO stress the point of getting together and being prepared, and the ability to chill and jam a bit to create truly melodic and firebound riffs for songs. As a daily composer I do music everyday as does the bassist in this band.

myself lead/vocal-lead guitar )what ever it takes) and keyboards as needed. Goal a 4pc rock-blues band with energy and an edge, not a blues band, but the skills to jam and turn a feeling into a fusion of rock-blues and progressive music but will a solid song structure, melody and lets call is very well crafted songwriting and arrangements. I've had this working a few times but then something always happens with drummers.

EQUIPMENT

Everything we need to record a pro album in our home studio and go live and more.

The gear is secondary, the performer and solid commitment is the key.
We get together on Saturdays for 8 hours generally, but myself music everyday and bassist the same at home, we do the homework, provide song sheets with lyrics and chords and recording of songs, and rehearsal recording to improve or what ever it takes to be on the same page.
