Hi There,
> 
> My name is Brad Wiley. I'm the lead-guitarist for a band with diverse
> influences, primarily from Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Progressive Rock,
> Blues, and some Jazz and Classical as well (just no C & W). We range
> in age from 26-34, and have had alot of the typical influences for our
> age that you might expect -(Zeppelin, Hendrix, SRV, Pink Floyd, The
> Beatles, Eric Clapton, etc.), but we have alot you might not expect
> too (Rush, Yes, Styx, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Gary Moore, and on
> and on).
> 
> I currently play with two other musicians, and we're needing a final
> fourth musician (a drummer). We are looking for someone ideally who
> would be a good mix of a "Pounder" and also have a side that's a
> "Finesse Drummer". We are willing to look at someone who is more
> predominant in either of the above styles, with hopes they'll like our
> stuff, and want to grow into the role of being versatile quickly!
> 
> We are based in Lewisville (about 20 miles NW of Downtown Dallas), but
> this is not a bad situation because having a drummer can often change
> where a band practices (for the better usually). Right now we practice
> in an apartment at relatively sane volume each time). We've also done
> quite a bit of (obviously drummerless) home recording. We record
> directly to hard disk through software the bass player/keyboardist
> has. I've played with Mike (the bassist) for about three and a half
> years now (in a variety of genres) so there's definitely that exciting
> chemistry happening! We've worked with Terry (our vocalist and backup
> guitarist) for about a year now and things are coming along nicely.
> 
> Once we're heard "out" as a complete band, we feel things should take
> off pretty nicely. I currently play (solo and w/ Mike occasionally)
> Acoustic Jazz/Classical Gigs at a Major Winery in Bryan/College
> Station, Texas (so the experience and sound is there). Please contact
> me to set up an audition for yourself (or your friend - who's a good
> drummer)! I can be reached by any of the following:
