So I'm bored and looking for something of substance to post. I reckon I'll put this out there and see how many people here like actual music. (y'know, the kind that uses real instruments :p)

I'm a drummer and I'm in 3 different bands at the moment, but this one would be my "main" one. The other 2 bands are good, but this one has the best musicians and the best music concepts. Not to mention the song selection is the most fun to play. We have 5 originals at the moment, enough for an EP, so we're hoping to take that leap very soon. Renting a studio is rather expensive however.

The name of the band is O3VUS. (oh-ee-vuss) Sort of an anagram for "3 of us". I've played in several bands in my time, and never have any of them sounded this full and complete, especially seeing as this is just a 3 piece. We play a broad range of music, but are weighted towards Heavy Metal/Hard Rock.

So check it out, and feel free to give your thoughts and opinions.

Me and Lil Wayne are deeply offended.

I actually have more respect for Lol Wayne <- see what I did there…than most of the other stuff out there. At least he makes an attempt to play an instrument. Sure, he plays like a 3 yr old recovering from a head injury, but I have more respect for that than these "musicians" who only push play on a drum machine and call it a day.

Nice man.

I've been looking to find a drummer, but alas no one will take it up.

Life of guitarist and bassist.

With a good enough internet connection I could join you remotely! LOL

Seriously though, how come you're having trouble finding a drummer? Odd genre?

Yeah some of that stuff will straight wear a drummer out. We play several punk songs in our setlist, and it's a workout for sure.

What crash is that? The high one for the beat 2 lightning strikes.

Zildjian ZHT 10" China Splash. A true China has no place is my setup, but a regular Splash is a little too puny for what we do. The China Splash is the perfect mix of both cymbals. It doesn't carry on like a regular China, and it doesn't sound like a toy cymbal like regular Splashes sometimes do. They also make a 8" version, but it had very little "china" and way too much "splash".

I enjoyed listening to this! thanks for the share dude!

Thanks man! We've got a lot more stuff on our Youtube channel if you're interested. There's some studio stuff there, as well as some more live stuff. Check it out if you get the time.

A little sketchy in some parts (guitar mostly), and I'm not a fan of the vocalists singing, but a pretty solid cover of FWTBT nonetheless. Your drumming is good, how long have you been playing for?
