Good luck. I've tried at most of my duty stations to find a drummer. Only found one or two willing to jam and they were flaky at best.
Wait, are you turning down talented musicians that like the herb or are they not good at drumming because they are stoned?
There are some dedicated musician collaboration websites out there that are a bit better than CL, but you're right in that a good drummer is hard to find. You might try snooping around some of the music programs at UCSD or SDSU. YOu also might have better luck to the north toward LA, if you don't mind the drive. I've managed to do collaboration over the internet with the drummer I played with in the 90s that still lives in JAX. Works out OK for recording material, but not so much for jamming.
There used to be a guy that set his drum set up under the Friars Rd overpass just west of the MV Mall. He would practice there for hours on end, right out in the open. He had some pretty impressive skills.
), hippie guitarist who has a thing for drummers... what am I missing?
My son is a percussionist rather than a drummer. He just moved here to San Diego from the Bay Area where he played professionally in addition to his day job. He is mostly into Latin Jazz, playing congas, timbales and bongos. He has sat in with some major Salsa bands here in San Diego recently. He is beyond 420, but is friendly. PM me if he can help.
I bore easily, which is why I have lots of hobbies and no wife.
