I know this is a long shot, but it worked a couple of times on the good ol' stonerrock.com so it's worth giving it a shot but if you know anyone in the Los Angeles area that would fit the description shoot me a message!

you never see 'Male drummer wanted' ads. kinda sexist if you ask me.
Because even though women are becoming more present in this scene, it's still a heavily male oriented environment. The idea for this project is pretty specific. I know a bunch of amazing dude drummers, but I need a fellow female for this one.
What's wrong with being Sexy ?
you WOULD think that thee Whore of Tijuana would be just what you want, except it isn't....
it's all just so crazy, I cant keep up 8P
edit: howabout a vid of my nephew's little daughter the next time she has a tantrum. talk about channeling keith moon ugly style WOW
Some serial killers want to eat your face, some just want to snuggle with your non-protesting lifeless flesh. Be careful out there.
You just never know, with folks buying knives as souvenirs and stuff...

I was just messing with you. Hopefully you find what you're looking for.
I've been getting that kind of response a lot, so my answer is basically in auto-pilot on that one. Thanks, I hope so too. I found and amazing guitar player through that ad though, so my drums and bass duo dream might not happen after all.
There are guitarists in LA ?
From the hot female variety
Good luck! Digging the bass videos

Is the drummer going to wear corpse paint too?

wait DUHHHH!
everyone wants a female drummer
... well besides l. ron I mean...
Now I'm also looking for a guitar player (vagina is optional) for a noise project with Skillit on drums. But I'm getting a ton of responses for that. Still getting nothing on the female drummer.
If you got skillit on drums you will also have the coolest concert posters ever. Dude is an amazing artist.
This thread reminds me actually about an ad I saw recently.
recently was on kijiji (canadian craigslist/ebay) looking for drummers and saw this:
Seeking Feminist Drummer
"Feminist punk rock band looking for politically motivated, beginner to intermediate, young adult, drummer. Must be willing to travel short/long distances. We like Bikini Kill, Hole, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, Crass, Cherry Glazerr and The White Stripes. If you could learn "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges for the audition that would be really lovely of you. Please email ______@gmail.com if you want to audition, dates for auditions are April 10 and April 17."
Songs about mythical wage gaps and toxic masculinity?
All jokes aside though, I spent like 4 months looking for ANY young drummer in the area and ended up with nothing really- seems like it'd be more likely to find a unicorn then a young feminist punk drummer. I wish em the best of luck but it was just one of those ::) reactions
The Standstills have a female drummer whos pretty dope- they still seem to be extremely rare though
Helms Alee have a spectacular drummer:
Hmmm I found a lady guitar player and she wants to jam to some Bedemon so that's cool. I also got a reply from a chick saying she's more of a guitar and bass player but that she can play drums too. She has no videos though so I don't know, I'll have to investigate that a little more.
The project with Skillit though should shape up fairly quickly. Already had a bunch of guitar players showing interest so that should take off fairly soon-ish. And yes, amazing posters and artwork in general!
I think I found the drummer! So fucking stoked she's interested! She's the drummer for Black Sabbitch, a Black Sabbath tribute band! Sending her a message, waiting for the reply and the whole conversation was more stressful than any online dating I had to endure.
i believe it. band relationships are worse than bf/gf shit.
But they both look very down to earth and drama free which was one of my main concerns to be in an all chick band. That and syncing menstrual cycles.

syncing blood cycles seems like it could be a challenge.
I'm on the pill, I can play Jesus with that kind of stuff.
shouldnt be too much of a concern then.
This chick just replied to my ad:

why no males??? so if you had only these two choices, would you take:
A) a mediocre female drummer with 'the look'
or
B) a pleasantly plump BBW really good drummer
so A or B and why, does it matter if she is single or not
Oy vey, I explained the female thing on the first page.
By BBW I guess you mean big beautiful women, which I have no problem with because I'm a curvy chick myself. So I guess I really don't understand your point. Both the Black Sabbitch lady and this girl from the video I posted seem to be anything but mediocre.
Wait... Dong?

I hope it works out.
Because that would be..well..rad.
whats wrong with having one dude and 3 or 4 chicks together in a small room jamming sabbath? if so that is my calling, I need to put an ad up. yes! form over substance.
I may screen applicants further tho
but ya that drummer chick is in
here are some ideas to modify your ad that I have seen:
"Need female ddrummer...no flukes or groupiers please." (We're allergic to fish)
"Looking for female drummer who sings...vocal talent not necessary. Must weigh 9 or 10 on hottie scale." (Pounds?)
"I am the lyricist/ female lead singer/songwrietr founder of the band [Josiah Hawk] ,the only reason i say this, is not to be ego, but to tell you ,this music thes bad is something i have sacrficed alot for and put my heart and soul inot, i wil od that for all of us, but you have to want it too."
""We need a strong [female] drummer that's sexy and powerful. I want tattoos and the pin-up girl look, ie Betty Page. I said sexy, so you should no[sp] that's within, not on the outside...We also don't want a double bassdrummer. A little is ok, but that's it."
"Female drummer wanted...you don't need to be super thin, but we want someone without a weight problem."
"Wanted: Female drummer who can play simply and poignantly...You should have some stage personality, be able to laugh and be able to handle banter about dildos, poop, and David Lee Roth's ass baring chaps without blushing."

+1
So, we jammed for 3 hours last night and these chicks are just amazing. I should've done hand exercises because my left hand was super shakey by the time we were done, but I'll get there with practice.
I was listening to the recordings this morning and it doesn't sound like I originally though it was gonna sound (we were thinking mega fuzz wall of sound Sabbath worship) but it turned out to sound like this weird cross between Melvins and Hawkwind and it somehow worked just perfectly! I'm honestly surprised they want to jam with me again because I still feel a little rusty for not playing for so long, but they just kept saying everything was awesome so fuck! I'm stoked!

Congrats!
Hope it continues to move forward for y'all.
cool pics and video footage needed for proof and my viewing pleasure ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :D
Soon!
We're gonna jam a bit more, record some more of said jams, create a soundcloud and start sharing the goods.
yes ;)
Still going to rock the corpse paint?
Only asking because I would suggest sugar skull makeup instead. Looks cooler IMHO
Sent from a can on some string using Tapatalk
Still waiting for the white paint to arrive from China. Sugar skull paint is not as brvtal and kvlt. I plan on laying it down pretty heavily on the bass when the paint arrives (which is why I was practicing the flamenco measures the other day).
A corpse paint/sugar skull hybrid theme?

Will you all be practicing in bikini tops?*
asking for a friend*
(*everdrone)
lol yes express yourselves please
and I need them to smile at the camera suggestively too when they do their Bikini Sabbath Worship songs ;D
this shizzle is along the lines of what I have in mind:
I love it when Zepparella clips are posted.
Gives insecure guys a chance to dig Zeppelin sexiness without worrying about being too faggy.
Not that I ever worry about fagging out to creative dudes that I love.
Probably why I often get pegged as a fag.
That and the often too demonstrative deal I seem to have.
But yeah.
Sexy Bands Are Sexy!!!
/zepparella!
I need to to make a stop at Dress Barn, and Guitar Center's drum stick department, before heading over to SoundGardenia's place.
:D

Have done some shows with Zeparella in the past year +. Top fucking notch. Have known Clem since 2001 from the Bottom days.
Angeline the bass player is mine and you can't have her.
Did you know that Gretchen's (guitar player) Dad was a frequent contributor to Guitar Player Magazine and that before she joined Zepparella she was an airline pilot for a couple of years?!
What the fuck?!?
That's awesome.
She was also in Bottom for a spell towards the end.

Don't feel obligated to call the band ÜTERÜS on my account.
If y'all were a punk band I'd suggest The Monthly Visitors.
But y'all aren't, so I won't :)

Brew-ho's coven
it's a dual language word play, maybe it sucks
Brew-Ho's actually is pretty funny
IDK, my perspective doesn't count cuz it's too far out there I guess.
Immediately fail at not making a feature of our new female drummer by telling promoter they will draw way better featured where people at the bar will see them rather than upstairs where people will just hear rumbling.

Only if you are also female, as in Soundgardenia's case.
Otherwise, they'll think you're a perv.
lol
it would be convenient tho
maybe write one saying ALL GIRL BAND ...and one dude (its ok, he is the guitarist and our conceptual leader)
***furiously writes craigslist ad***
Alright! Here are some updates! We have a band name (finally) that surprisingly wasn't already taken: High Priestess!
Here's a sneak peak of one of our new tunes, Escalator to Paradise, which we are hoping that isn't ripping off something that has already been made probably around the early 70's:
You should sue led zeppelin.

This is a drummer search that ended profoundly well. High Priestess' drummer summons fucking demon.
