Title: Female drummer wanted
Post by: Soundgardenia on March 31, 2016, 01:05:47 AM
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.

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.

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.

Post by: SensoryOverload on April 02, 2016, 05:40:05 PM
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
Title: Re: Female drummer wanted
Post by: Soundgardenia on April 03, 2016, 01:45:17 PM
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!
Title: Re: Female drummer wanted
Post by: Soundgardenia on April 04, 2016, 09:02:07 PM
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.

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.

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
Title: Re: Female drummer wanted
Post by: Soundgardenia on April 19, 2016, 04:46:00 PM
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.

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
Title: Re: Female drummer wanted
Post by: everdrone on April 19, 2016, 05:45:01 PM
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."

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!

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).

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.

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:
