Bassdemon Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Right. So I figure that after the Dragonfroce gig some of you buggers are gonna come out of hiding..... Everwicked are looking for a power metal loving drummer who enjoys playing drums very fast while at the same time being very technical. We are a mix of Power/Prog/Thrash/Speed Metal. You can hear some tracks from the Cd we recorded HERE . We've been gigging in Aberdeen and Dundee for about a year playing with Black Atom, Man Of The Hour and Madman Is Absolute. If any out there is interested send me a pm or emailAnd we're based in Aberdeen, Not Montrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Power metal drummers haven't been in hiding, they've just got other bands.And they aren't based in Montrose, either. Good luck though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdemon Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 We aren't based in Montrose. We're based in Aberdeen. I guess I'll add that to my first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Ascension Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 You may find it quite tricky finding Power Metal musicians ... it's taken us all summer to find a new singer and he came from England haha...But yes good luck, hopefully you find a guy and a night of Power Metal will be on the cards again!

Guest MDP Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 lol, he's the only drummer i know who plays metel/powermetal, and loves dragonforce and the like...but yeah he am only 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_beastly_one Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Theo listens to like, no power metal.....other than Dragonforce, I really can't see the reasoning behind that suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdemon Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 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?

Some of the most technical players have probably never touched power metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most technical players have probably never touched power metal.[/quote']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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 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!

clakemcrobb Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 i can drum fast.pick it up from playing nofx and other thrash punk (thrash punk drummking is identical to thrash metal)shame i cannot stand power metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Devil Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I've been practicing double bass, and can hit 200, although it's fairly sloppy for now. Thr eason I concentrate on that is more via influence from grind/extreme/death metal. There are some great players out there, good luck. As for "thrash punk drumming"...

I practice going through it all in a couple of various blast patterns, to keep the hands up there too. As for 32nds at 200 though, that's not possible. Sure you're counting right?
