Drummer wanted for musical comedy act in Hull

Hi there,

Don't know if this is the right forum but thanks for taking a look at our ad. We're a musical comedy 3 piece (vocals, guitar and bass) looking for a drummer who could spare at least 4 hours, once every two weeks to begin rehearsing songs already written for live performances and music videos.

You'll need to be a decent drummer, nothing professional but just able to play rock, metal and some softer genres; as well as have a decent sense of humour. We like to have a laugh at our sessions but always get plenty done too.

If you're interested, get back to me from here and I'll give you more details.

Cheers,

Jonny.

Johnny I don't drum myself (despite having natural rhythm) nor do I have the urge to join a band.

That said I have seen this post go unanswered for a few days and I know it can be soul destroying so I thought I'd put my tuppence in.

Having seen the lack of feed back and being aware that this site has more drummers than a Bernard Matthews factory, I can only surmise that there is a fundamental flaw in your request?

I Have you considered taking the word 'Hull' out of the advert?

I have but then I realised it would be unfeasible for the three of us, what with soaring petrol prices and all. A curse on my beloved city and its horrendous location!

Have you considered looking for comedy drummers on the continent?
I know that the Dutch comedy drummers scene is extremely vibrant at the moment.

Dare I suggest a claw hammer, a mouth full of nails, a few old pallets and an established sea lane to Rotterdam?

It might be dangerous but its cheap and if you do make land you will be in good company as The Baron Knights, The Grumbleweeds and the Wurzels all had Dutch number ones. in the 70's.

To this day Ajax FC run out to the Wurzels classic 'I'm a F**king Dutchman'

Double Dutch?

There's a guy from my town who is a metaldrummer and also a nudeflasher. If that combination sounds interesting for you I can see if we can arrange something.

Cheers for the helpful replies. If there is anyone serious, please get in touch.

Ta!

Joe Dolce reached number 4 in Holland with 'Shaddap You Face' in April 1981. Ultravox's 'Vienna' managed to achieve the number one hit it was denied by Mr Dolce in the UK. Oh those crazy Dutchies.

I appreciate none of this actually helps in any way. Which is a pity because I'd really like to be a drummer in a comedy band.

I used to have a set of drums.
I went for lessons and they made me paradiddle to a metronome.
It was then I found out I had no sense of rhythm whatsoever.
Plus a neighbour put a knife through all the skins
And that was the end of that. Otherwise I'd try help

(true story btw)

Mick Ronson one of the Spiders from Mars is from Hull as is Devilfish the poker player, outside of that and a love of Martlows Drumstick lollipops I have nothing to offer I truly haven't

Yes but was Woody Woodmansey, and is he still available?

No he was butchered to death in a Malawian night club whilst watching a host of Norfolk comedians.
