Technical Metal Band Seeks Drummer

[Wavebreaker]

Montreal's technical/progressive metal band Faces of Horizon is seeking a replacement for the drummer position.
The candidates must be at the top of their games, as the music is very complex and the drums in particular are highly tehnical.
Also, complete seriousness and dedication to a career in music is needed.

The band's music draws on inspiration from the best of all genres, from prog, technical, black, death, thrash, and power metal, so versatility is a key factor. A strong command of rhythm theory in particular is needed.

Generally, the drum style needed resembles a cross between Richard Cristy, Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Asgeir Mickelson, Van Williams, and Martin Lopez, but the band is open to individual interpretation of the material.

I know a guy named Roland who might be able to help you out. He can play as technical and as fast as needed, AND he will NEVER fuck your girlfriend.

 

[Wavebreaker]

Hmm... won't fuck our girlfriends, that's good!

And thanks, Dead6Skin, I empathize with you. Like Nevermore's revolving-door guitarist, we've gone through a bucket-load of drummers over the last few years, and no one just seems to be good enough or even to fit in in personality.

Hey, Nicodemix, are you serious about this Roland fellow? Sounds about right, it's a matter of whether he is in our area, or willing to relocate if he's really into our suff...

hehehe t'was a joke with the Roland thing...

he doesnt even argue

 

[Wavebreaker]

HA! Roland... should've figured...

Naw it's alright, Cubase is more my thing anyways. Drum tracks are already written and sequenced (although it sounds pretty authentic in the demos).

If I lived in Montreal I'd drum for you.

Not really, I've never even held a drumstick.

We'd at least try you out... well, not really

spinal tap

spontaneous combustion?

Not quite!

No, it was mainly a question of professionalism. They were all good drummers, but they had a general tendency to not practice enough and do their home work... With our type of music every individual had to be prepared and in shape for every rehearsal.
Also these guys were generally already in other bands (that's usually how we found them) and didn't really feel the need to challenge themselves.

Most importantly, though, even the best of them just couldn't pull off some of the more intricate passages (which forced us to compromise the music, a big no-no).

Which is why we need a monster...

You'd come from NY?
Sorry dude, we're pretty happy with our guy, he's a real soldier. And there's something about fretless 5-string that I just love too much...
The dude rips!
