Drums.ABOUT
Looking for a drummer to join our cover band High Point Players (or, equally as likely, to start a new band under a different name) to play weddings. Our drummer is great, and a lovely chap, but does not want to play weddings.
We're looking for someone with the same raw energy as our current drummer. Standing on the kit etc...
A bonus would be good backing vocal ability.
Thanks v much for reading through this!

EQUIPMENT
For the geeks (like me):
'78 Marshall JMP 2204
4x12 cab currently with a '78 G12-65 (micd), two early 70s Pulsonic G12Ms, and a late 70s G12M 'blackback'. All the G12Ms have a degree of coil rub... honestly, don't get into really old speakers, it is addictive and a pain in the bum in equal measure.
Generally an sm57 close mic, various pedals, a 1980 Tokai Les Paul knockoff usually with P90 pickups but occasionally a SD '59 in the bridge if the twanginess of the P90 starts to get on my tits when playing the rockier stuff.
