Any SD Drummers out there?
My band's drummer recently moved away to Philly and so we're looking for a replacement...
check us out youtube and let me know if you are / know anyone that would be interested!

You can try putting up ads at local recording studios as well. Go out and network with other bands in the area. If you're in a band here, you've got to know other musicians locally, right? Ask around with those you've played shows with before...

Yep .. we've already started going this route also, just seeing if there was someone out there who hasn't gotten their feet wet that was interested.

I'm a drummer here; contact Aaron at http://drumsetstudio.com and see if he has a student or a line on a drummer. Stay off Craigslist. It's completely non-indicative of the "real" SD music scene.
I agree about CL.. thanks for the tip, I'll definitely reach out. Can I tell him you referred me over or do you rather I keep it anon?
Aaron's my old student and is a good source for finding drummers. Please tell him I sent you. :D
haha :) - what's the "real" music scene here?
and yes, never go on CL for music meetups!
Go to places such as LeStat's on any given night, Humphrey's for the songwriter contests/workshops, Brick by Brick, any other local musicians actual shows. Sitting behind a keyboard "putting out feelers" won't get anyone very far. This is an action-based business.
What about Casbah, Sodabar, Bar Pink, Eleven, Til-Two? Those are the places I've played/been to and have seen by far the best turn out.
Those too. :D What I've best ascertained about the SD music scene is that everyone here seems to live like they are "on vacation". Best thing for a band to do is call SD home but get out of here as much as you can.
It's possible to work in the local clubs for a living as a musician, I've done it for 23 years now. But for original music it's better to get away. :D
Yeah, I used to spend so much time there and at Rebecca's it's ridiculous, now I travel all the time for work and don't get a chance to get out there as much as I'd like. But you're right. This is a haven.
