Word of mouth really worked out for my band. Especially in high school and colleges, you can ask around and you'll find some good, young talent. Online networking helps as well.

Hey everyone! I usually post in the recording section, but now i have a big problem.
I have recently formed a band with one of my closest friends who's also the best screamer I've heard in person. I play guitar, he screams, we have a great bassist and a great second guitarist. We're all extremely dedicated, but what we lack is a reliable GOOD drummer.
Pretty much we've gone through about 4 different drummers in the past month, all of which have flaws. We've encountered drummers with no kits, drummers with no way to contact them, and guitarists that own a kit (Just because you own a kit doesn't mean you play the drums).
What's the worst is that we have a completed EP, with big name guest vocals, just sitting here. We've decided that we're not moving on until we find a permanent drummer.
We've used facebook, asking around, friends of friends of friends, and craigslist. How do YOU find Band members?
There is literally 1 drummer for ever 6,344,451 guitarists. Or a good one at least...
I've been trying for months now, got the rest of the band just like you!
