Really interested in getting back into writing/jamming again. Looking primarily for a good drummer with good influences that isn’t a toolbag. Also open to jam sessions/AKA drink beers and play guitar. ---

Well, you know my stance on this. Paging Mr. Edsell, when he’s not too busy with the GF or building 14 different bikes and what not. ---

Heyy, I’ve been wanting to jam/play for a while now but no one ever has time. When have I ditched or cancelled plans because of the GF? (not a jab at Nick) ---

(not a jab at Nick) I will say you’ve never DITCHED or cancelled due to g/f…but you certainly have lacked availability due to g/f…but then again that’s fairly normal to an extent. however: a) I suck at jamming. truth. I do not understand music theory, can’t read notes, and have nearly zero creativity. I can learn/play existing songs by ear or if they are difficult use tabs. That’s the extent of my capabilities. I’d LOVE to put together a cover band again… b) I am pretty super busy with like 14 bikes and sidework as chris said lol. I can’t resist making a few extra bucks or working on old bikes (or both simultaneously) c) g/f’s suck to have. d) beer. plus I farted. ---

you would think with the strength of all things musical in buffalo there would be improv/writting workshops or something to attend. I seriously need to get better, BAD. I feel I can typically figure out how to play just about anything that someone else wrote fairly easy, I just can’t really write…which sucks cause an all-original metal band would be siq to be a part of (serious). ---
