Theo listens to like, no power metal.....other than Dragonforce, I really can't see the reasoning behind that suggestion.

Well I only listen to a few power metal bands. To be honest I doubt we really count as a power metal band. We draw influences from bands like Cacophony, Megadeth, Maiden, In Flames, At The Gates as much as we do power metal. The main problem is that we play so fast that the only drummers who can keep up are ones into grind/death metal, metalcore and power metal, and only the ones who play power metal are as technical as they are fast.

So anyway do you think it's worth getting in contact with this Theo guy or what?

i dunno if he's gonna be good enough, but its worth a shot. he's majorly into the murderdolls, korn, Slipknot and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Is he on here? If so whats his username? If not can someone pm me some way of contacting him?

Just as a point, that thing about being technical with speed is shite.

Some of the most technical players have probably never touched power metal.

I'm not trying to say that only power metal drummers are technical. Its just that I've found that drummers with good technical ability that I've heard, and I'm talking local level drummers, who I've actually seen play, don't tend to play at 200bpm unless they play power metal. But what the fuck do I know, I'm a bassist with zero knowledge of drums. I'd happily have a drummer who'd never played power metal before. The last drummer we had was amazing and he was into hardcore and jazz.

i would agree tho you have to be one hell of a drummer to PROPERLY drum in a power metal band and ive not seen one in Aberdeen yet. Thats not to say there isnt one mind, theres a lot of folk in this wee city, but good luck

Haha i wish i could drum that fast, i would love to be in a power metal band!

[Cloud]

[Bassdemon]

Love the metal. Feel the metal. Be the metal......or something
