looking for my replacement in SF rock band

So we're looking for a replacement drummer right now. The band is Dirty Orange Sun, it's heavy grungy rock. I love the music we're writing, I'm just not willing to go "all the way" like the other guys, and I can't tour due to health concerns, so I'm bowing out now, plus I want to move to San Diego. It's a 3-piece with a very full sound, we gig around the bay area regularly and have an arsenal of about 15 songs. The other 2 want music to be their livelihood. I'm still playing for the band until another drummer is up to speed on the songs. There will be artistic freedom to write your own drum parts, though it can be taken/influenced from what I've done.

Things are still a bit early in the progression, we released our first EP this year and are just now putting together promo packs to send around.

We're looking for a drummer with mad skills (which it sounds like you have) but can jam and play with the music appropriately, no need to show off mad skills when only a simple beat is needed.

Let us know if you'd like to try out. You can check us out at www.myspace.com/dirtyorangesun , the video represents our more recent direction.
