There must be a good drummer out there somewhere...
I'm getting really pissed off with the Müf band situation, it's really frustrating seeing other bands going off doing exciting things and not being a full complete band.
We've auditioned 3 drummers so far and whilst all had their own plusses and minuses none really had that EUREKA! feeling where we'd found the right guy for us. It's a common problem for bands, I know we're certainly not the first band to go through this. Rebus have been through more drummers than Spinal Tap before getting the perfect guy for the job. Anyway it's all a bit demoralizing at the moment. I'm sure we'll find someone, and when we do things will kick start again. The Palestinians seemed to just surge forward once they got the right guy in the drumseat.
I think it's most annoying because we've got through the initial 'new band' thing where we were just trying to work out what kind of sound felt right and were starting to make some headway, I think all of us were pulled into new places musically.
The two drummers I've played with recently, Rob (now of Rebus) and Iain the old Müf drummer are both so good that I guess I've been slightly spoilt by their quality. Ah well. The search goes on...

That first guy was pretty whiffy, I almost looked at him and said "You reek-a!", does that count? Our ideal drummer would stride in to rehearsal halfway through another drummer's audition, pick him up by the throat, throw him across the room, and proceed to batter the life out of the kit for an hour in a Bonham-esque bit of soloing, spit fire and cough-up blood and then just stand there doing Andrew WK arm-pumping while we mulled it over..
