Drummer Wanted Ad (Please Share)

High energy touring Rock N Roll band. We have traveled as far as TX and New Orleans various times, released 2 Ep's, 4 official music videos and have done various radio appearances.  Recently had an album released through a indenpendent UK label with the hopes of stimulating enough buzz that we can do a small tour over there. We own our 15 passenger touring van (Glenn Vanzig), have a producer and booking agent. We have many highend music industry connections waiting for us to deliver the goods so they can put their weight behind it and make Midnight Mob a household name. Our original drummer left late summer 2013.

Seeking Drummer:
1. Audition period can last months
2. Practice 4x a week
3. You will be putting in approximately $200 a month for band expenses (Varies based on shows for the month. Most out of state shows have promised guarantees and we can make a chunk of change off of merchandise)
4. You will be interviewed by our producer as well as play for him
5. First live shows with us will be at local dive bars under a fake name, where we will gather feedback from each other as well as our closest friends at these shows
6. Must be versatile/open to various styles of drumming from double bass metal to brushes for 7. acoustic to groove for some funkiness
7. Must have quality drum kit with protective cases for all gear
8. Must be able to travel in a van for extended periods of time (We sleep on each other sometimes).
9. We have made plenty of friends all over so we do have access to many houses, but if we have to make time then we may have to van it.  Some venues put us up in hotels.
10. Understand that an original is a business first and rewarded with the party. We are a federally registered business entity and maintain sales & expenses no different than any other business.
11. Understand that being in a band is social environment. It's all about networking, having a goodtime with the people that came out to see the show and letting loose with your bandmates.

All of the above may sound really serious because it is. The 4 of us love this band and have been through hell pushing it.  The funny thing is that we are extremely laid back and just love everything about music as well as movies, comics, sports, fitness, mario party, food etc...  It's really important for us to choose someone that has a personality and mindset that meshes in addition to being a great musician. Even if you don't have any band experience, but have great groove & positive outlook there's no reason why you can't join us.  In the end we need someone with heart.
