Yes one of those. I'm 20 and live in North London. Wanting to start a band for live performances. I'm a Producer (1 year) and Drummer (4 years). Looking for talented musicians who have similar interests in forming something special. Electro, Dubstep, DnB and Funk mixed in a pot? You could always check my soundcloud, Thanks

Nice, I've got my own band in that direction too. We had 2 people on keyboard, a drummer a bass guitar player and a guitarist with a very nice set of pigtronix effects which made the guitar sound like some kinda synth. 2 bad i live in the netherlands. Good luck with it ;)

in a norf londoner im not sure how much i can help you though being mainly a drummer, i do have a bassist and guitarist i was working with but we havent had time to properly try any dubstep style stuff

but our guitarist has built a really cool filter for the bass, that has an lfo and adsr and stuff like that makes some well cool sounds

yea but to be honest, what they are playing isnt that complicated, and i have never found 2 people playing exactly the same thing impressive


if you had 2 drummers playing different things and it works great, but i think that wont be easy


and in my opinion the fact that each drummer is slightly out with each other just makes it sound weird its like layering 2 snares slightly out of time, it completley ruins the "attack" of the sound

but each to his own

Hmmmm. I live in London and been trying to put a Fingathing kinda style thing together. I can cut and scratch, and play shitty keyboard basslines. I've had quite a couple sessions with a guitarist I'm starting something up with, and we've gotten some good shit together.

2 Drummers can work well together if done properly, but it'd be pretty hard to make 2 drummers sound good when it comes to Dubstep
