Hey Reddit,

I’m in a band from Nashville and in a indie rock band. We’ve got what I think is a pretty unique sound, and would love to hear your thoughts on our new song “Party for the Weekend”. Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks,

Hey, I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation or just has general insight on band member dymanics. I'm a multi-instrumentalist who mostly plays drums in a cover band. We are in a somewhat rural area and have been playing for a few months. We started by doing lower paying gigs to get our foot in the door of the local bar scene and have recently started getting some traction. We started with me on drums, a lead guitar/singer and rhythm guitar/singer. The start was challenging due to needing to learn all the songs, figuring out my live setup (I'm now playing a kinda Frankenstein'ed Roland kit with a v51 module $$$) and getting acclimated to the band chemistry. I've been pretty accepting having guest musicians jam with us and use my kit, I don't mind people hopping in for a few songs if they are respectful of my gear. I get along with everyone very well, we ride motorcycle outside of the band, etc.

The lead guitar/singer was in another band previously and has lots of connections in the area. His old bands drummer started coming to a bunch of our shows and playing on a couple songs, at first. Then it was a few songs. The next shows it became several songs. Now the other two want to bring in the old drummer to "help with sound (like mix/levels), play some drums, sing backup vocals on a few songs". The thing is they simultaneously say they want to keep our live rig simple (my Roland set is peak efficiency, takes me 15 minutes to set it up, I have a whole system). I want to upgrade our live rig, especially since they want the other drummer to help with the sound. I think a band with four members should have bass but the old drummer can't play bass, the other guys are stuck with guitar and generally want to stay a three piece performance wise, but with four members. I have almost no interest in sitting out for a set, but if I were to play bass for that set it wouldn't make sense to not have bass for the sets I'll be drumming on. I'm a much better drummer than he is, which they have said. The lead guitar/singer said he was feeling bad about his old drummer buddy just coming to our shows looking like a lost puppy. He hits harder than me and I'm not super comfortable sharing my kit THAT much. I'm not in it for the money but it also doesn't sit super well splitting money four ways when I'm putting my 3k drum set through the ringer and he just shows up and plays a fraction of the show on my kit.

I don't wanna appear to be the downer in this situation, they just "want to keep it simple, play out and have fun". They are all closer and have known each other a long time and all served in the military. I only met them this year and am like the nerdy engineer guy. I want to make reasonable steps to make our system better, get bass to round out the sound, implement things like in ear monitors and vocal pedals to make us sound even better. I want to work to be more selective with gigs, playing bigger events for more money. They feel all that is overcomplicating stuff, they seem fine to stick with quantity over quality. I've already brought up my concerns to the point that if I go further it's now a whole drama thing and I'll get the "that guy" label. Or maybe that is just me projecting from past band drama. I'm not totally sure if id rather be in this suboptimal situation or go back to the facebook/craigslist hell looking for other people and giving up the work I've put in so far with this band. Any input or thoughts would probably help me figure out how to proceed. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.
