i have one friend who could prolly do it. i should ask her
DO IT!!!
and I mean that in more than one way. And I mean
that in more than one way.
Just to reiterate, jazz/rock drummers are where it's at. They tend to be better at thinking "outside the box" and aren't always all BOOM BOOM CRASH, but still can be.
i would but it'd be kinda
awesome since we had a party in a motel room with friends and ended up sleeping together .c.
Fix'd.

When i'm looking for a drummer i try to find one who i think is decent enough then tell him that he can play more than 4 fills(and that's stretching it) in a song. Finding a drummer who actually knows how to make listenable music is very hard.

See, when I'm looking for a drummer I try to find one who I think is decent enough then tell him that he can play NO more than 4 fills in a song. I like hard insistent beats that rarely diverge from the rhythm like a train.

Dude, that's what drum machines are made to do. (I'm just gonna pimp drum machines until there are no live drummers left in the world aren't I?)

I like the idea of communal cymbals.

How many drummers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None, they have machines for that.

Oh, and the really nice thing about machines... it's easier to mix each individual component of a drum track when recording - and then mix THAT down, create exactly the beat you hear in your head, and they never lose time.
BUT: the magic that comes from a GOOD drummer can not be replaced by a machine. There's a chemistry that exists with a live drummer that can work with a band properly, and a machine won't do that.

Moving away, and I'm really gonna miss my drummer a ton.
I live pretty close to a college with a decent jazz program, so hopefully I can find a decent drummer there

Is true what he says.
