Looking for a session drummer in Mass/NH

[Chris]

My stuff's just about all written down, would love to get pro drums in the studio since I can't program them to save my life.

It's metal, looking for someone with some groove/jazz influence that can play on the heavier side as well.

Chris, I've got a buddy of mine who's big into Tool and Metallica, plays in a hardcore punk band for fun and a John Mayer-esq pop band for cash, and studied jazz drumming in college. I'd be in a band with him if he wasn't out in the Westfield/Springfield area, but as it is he's the guy I want playing on my album.

His current band - pretty chill and funky, but the guy can get heavy too.

For the right price, I'll program the drums for you

And his heavier band:

I'm going into a studio sometime next month to cut the first track, and the guy's a session drummer, but if I can bring in someone a bit more brutal I'd love to.

I'll also need to borrow your bass.

We're doing Midwinter first, since it's the easiest to hand out and say "this is the arrangement".

 

[Drew]

Sure, if you want the thing.

You're so going to finish your album before mine.

 

[Chris]

Well, if you know a bass player that kicks ass, I'd like to borrow him instead.

 

[Drew]

Not anyone who plays metal, and not anyone who plays five string (though, I do havea buddy I might try to convince to tune to B and play bass for me on my album so I don't have to, lol)

 

[Chris]

Got a drummer. Also have studio time setup. I'm so finishing my album before 'D does.

If you live in New England and are a solid metal bassist, we'll get you loaded to play on my album

 

[Drew]

Hahaha, I gotta get off my ass.
