Drummer looking to form/join a working band.
I'm a Staten Island resident.
Have access to acoustic drums & electronic drums.
Have reliable transportation.
I'm in my sixties but I still have the passion of a teenager.

lol.
I've been listening to a lot of the local bands and they all seem to play the most bland songs? Every band I've either seen or listened to all seem to play the same songs and the audiences reactions reflect that? I'm looking for players who want to entertain the people, get them on the dance floor, to make them remember where they were when they hear a certain song? I'd like to throw out a list of some of the songs I believe the people would like to hear and of course I'm willing to listen to songs that you think the audience would like to hear as well? The songs I'm posting are not written in stone, but here goes?

If these songs appeal to you, give me a shout out!
Again as I stated.
.
.
I'm sure you have songs you'd like to perform and I'm sure to many of you that the songs I mentioned are 'too old', or 'people don't want to hear those songs any longer?'.
.
.
Or, that's not what the audience want's to hear?'.
.
.
I hear you.
But hey? You never know? If these songs are performed right the audience will love it!
I'd like to have a Lead Guitarist, A Keyboard Player, Bass Player, Maybe Horns?, Female Vocalist, Male Vocalist.
Hope to hear from those who enjoy this music?
