Solid groove-oriented, professional drummer available. You can check out my playing at www.bandmix.ca/toronto-drummer
I am available for gigging, touring, and recording. I have played almost all the major clubs in TO, including The Phoenix, Lee’s, Horseshoe, Rivoli, Revival, and others. I have done dinner jazz, big band jazz shows, corporate parties, weddings, festival gigs, TV appearances, and tours. I have been a session drummer on rock, metal, pop, and other recording projects. I show up prepared and I try to play the gig the way you want it (louder/softer, busier/more sparse, sticks/brushes/mallets, etc.) Clicks, improvisation, charts, odd time signatures are all no problem. I have professional acoustic and electronic drum kits to suit any performance situation. And a reliable car to get me to gigs. I am based in the east GTA and will rehearse as far east as Oshawa and as far west as about Parkdale in Toronto. I'll happily do all styles EXCEPT punk or metal - it's fun to listen to sometimes, but it's just not my thing as a player. However, I'm especially into anything funky. I am looking for paying gigs only with existing professional/working artists and bands. • Location: East GTA

Sing - Unleash Your UNIQUE Voice - Eliminate throat tension and bad habitsposted: November 22, 2009, 09:42 AM

This is probably the most important series of voice articles you will ever read. Let’s face it, there is far more mis-information available about the voice then there is correct information. This series of articles will give you a big picture view of the voice and what goes into developing your full and unique voice. I just want to be able to sing! I hear those words every day. We have a deep desire to sing, express ourselves and yes, even sing well enough to be proud of our voice. Sometimes we want to sing for ourselves while other times we have a desire to share our music with others and possibly even perform. Without a doubt learning how to sing is a labor of love. It raises our spirits, challenges us, opens us up to new possibilities of what we can do creatively and often drives us absolutely crazy. Clearly you need to do the right things for your specific voice type. There are differences between the male and female voice. There are differences between Bass, Baritone and Tenor for men and Alto, Mezzo Soprano, Soprano and Whistle Register for women. These things are rarely if ever taken into consideration when doing the very things you need to do to get your voice where you want it. Regardless of how much, how little, or to what caliber you choose to develop your voice everything, yes I said everything, needs to be modified for the unique and individual qualities of your voice. With all these different variables it’s no wonder we don’t progress the way we want to or worse, do things that cause throat strain or make us sound less pleasing then we would like to. Do you ever want to sing a song and find you psych yourself out and just can’t do it the way you know you want to? That is probably because you don’t have the right information or tools to get the job done. Partial information will get part of the job done while mis-information will cause voice problems and keep you from making progress. Yikes!!! Let me shed a little light on things. We want to develop the vocal instrument to match the passion we have inside. There are three separate components to voice. I will give you a snapshot of each component allowing you to see the complete vision of voice. The components are: Component I - Technique Component II - Voice Styles Component III – Music Genres TECHNIQUE: These include your mental thoughts while singing, correct posture, breath, tone production (which includes intonation, vocal cord adjustments, strength and conditioning of singing muscles), vocal cord adjustments, understanding chest and head registers, resonant sound, and creative expression used to create your distinct voice. VOICE STYLES: These include Speech (similar methods include SLS Speech Level Singing and Spoken Level Singing), Falsetto, Cry, Twang, Belt and Opera (Opera is a classical method and not suitable for contemporary / modern music. It is often used for musical theatre when a classical and formal sound is desired). Often people focus on learning one or two of these styles. While learning anything about the voice is helpful you will likely want an understanding of all Voice Style. GENRES: This is where the sky is the limit. You have your most commonly known genres such as Pop, Blues, Country, Jazz, Electronic, Folk, Heavy Metal, Reggae and Classical but there are many other genres founded in the roots of these genres that go into forming your personal musical tastes and unique sound. Your full voice is grounded in proper vocal technique. No singer can sing effectively without it. On the other hand, your UNIQUE voice is created by utilizing proper vocal technique and combining different voice styles to achieve a sound that matches the vision you have for your song. The combination of both gives you the tools to sing any genre you desire. You will get to where you want your voice to go one step at a time. I know you can do it! • Location: Toronto (Sheppard Ave. / Leslie Street)

You’re a very good songwriter, maybe you’re brilliant. But there’s just one thing: you don’t have the greatest singing voice. Maybe pretty good – just not good enough to really sell the GREAT song you’ve just written.
I am a male demo vocalist with many styles under my belt: Rock, Country, Alternative, Metal, R&B, Standards, surf music…you name it. I will put that finishing touch on your next song, including just the right vocal arrangement. I have the ability to record at home and send you the files. Payments can be made by money order or through Paypal if it’s needed. Go to http://www.myspace.com/jonstathammusic for samples of my work. Feel free to call as well: (310) 882-1967 Jon Thank you.

New band being formed...
PLEASE READ THIS AD CAREFULLY AND PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS - PLEASE PROVIDE ALL THE REQUESTED INFO IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE - WE HAVE NO TIME FOR BOZOS AND CLOWNS... We have a huge amount of connections - are getting some internet airplay and have access to CD distribution deal thru a small record label and a major label... We are looking for a lead singer with a raspy voice and true talent - image is secondary but still important - so you should have a image of some sort - singer should be under 30 or look under 30 yrs old... Should also be able to write awesome lyrics - should also have a PA and mic system. Current pics of you are also required for the audition. Drummer wanted should be able to play some basic double kick bass and should also have true talent and own equipment.(If you play with a heavy backbeat then you may be right) Bassist we are looking for should also have some true talent but we want the bass loud in the mix - so bassists with a style of Flea, Matt from Rancid, Geddy Lee, Cliff Burton etc is what we are hoping for. Must also have own equipment... Guitar position is filled. We will be renting a regular rehersal studio and rent will be split among the members of the band. So please no responses if you have no income... This is a all original Hard Rock band/ Metal band - alot of the songs are done but there are some songs that still need the lyrics and bass and drums added so you need to be confident and able to contribute to the band... The music sounds a bit like a cross between AC/DC, Greenday, GnR ... If you are interested please respond to this ad with your info -(music background, age, experience you have had, studio experience if any - if you are a singer please also send a CURRENT photo and if you have a demo please email that too) We have a website set up with some of the songs that have already been done for you to hear - so once we hear from you we can direct you to that site...

Guitarist looking for musicians for new bandposted: November 15, 2009, 12:50 AM

GUITARIST SEEKS MUSICIANS FOR NEW BAND -
DRUMMER / BASSIST / KEYS / FEMALE VOCALS hi there... i'm sorry if this ad is a bit (or really) long, but i want to be as clear as possible as far as what I'm looking for and what I'm all about, so as to not waste my time or yours... i'll try to keep it brief... A LITTLE ABOUT ME: my name is chris... my main instrument is guitar... i also play drums, trumpet, a little piano, and i am recording engineer (with his own gear) and producer, and have some experience doing live sound... i'm also an adequate but not outstanding singer... mainly i would say that my influences are on the more artistic side of rock and roll... to me rock and roll can really include just about any style of music, and my influences are similarly varied... there isn't any particular style of music i don't like, but of course there are bad and lame examples of anything... i could make a list of about a million bands, albums, and songs that i'm into, but i'll try to keep it to the bare minimum and hopefully you'll be able to extrapolate what i'm talking about... my favorite artist is frank zappa... mainly what i like about frank is his insistance on playing any kind of music at any time for whatever reason, and his outlook on lyrical content and artistic presentation... what Frank does, in a non-musical way i guess, is very close to my roots as a high-school kid playing drums in punk bands in the 90's... some more of my favorite bands include (but not limited to): steely dan, the beatles, hendrix, black sabbath, led zeppelin, queen, nirvana, metallica, nofx, smashing pumpkins, pantera... the style of music that these bands play really has nothing to do with it... i just like how these bands approach what they do... there are alot of other bands that play alot of other different styles... i like rock, country, blues, metal, rap, pop, electronic music, classical, soul, easy listening, jazz, funk, disco... you name it, there's something about it that i like... my whole motivation for STARTING a band as opposed to trying to find a band to join is that because i like all these different styles of music, i find it very hard to be happy in a band that only plays one style of music... alot of my friends are into punk rock and metal and hardcore, which i like, but i can't stand playing that kind of stuff all the time... also, my outlook and reason for playing any type of music is somewhat different than most people... to use the punk/metal/hardcore example again, i find that people that play that kind of music have a certain seriousness about themselves that i don't share... there's alot of posturing involved in playing that kind of music... but to me, it's just another color on my musical pallet to use... sometimes i want to do it seriously and sometimes i want to make fun of it... either way, you have to be able to play it well to get your point across... i find that the people that can play heavy music well, for example, are not interested in playing other kinds of music, for whatever reason (maybe they feel stupid or maybe they don't think they have the chops, i don't know)... and people that play blues or country don't want to play metal... i need people that not only can play it all but also WANT to play all these different styles of music... another big reason why i'm looking for people to start a band as opposed to joining one is that, as much as i would like this band to ultimately be an original band, i also enjoy playing cover songs, and really it is part of my whole artistic outlook to play cover songs... i don't agree that a band that plays covers is necessarily less artistically legitimate than a band that does original material exclusively... another big reason why i want to play cover songs is that i've seen so many bands get ripped apart because of lack of finances... where i come from (northern ontario), bands travel for hours to play for gas money... it's even worse in toronto where alot of original bands pay to play... since i enjoy playing cover songs anyway, i don't see any reason why we can't play cover songs in some shitty dive for $500 a night or play a wedding or something, especially while we're on tour playing our original music... just makes being in a band alot easier financially, and playing anything different certainly helps build musical chops... basically what it comes down to is that i am trying to start this band so that i can play the kind of music that i want to play, as opposed to supporting somebody else's outlook anymore... i've done that alot and i just don't enjoy it anymore... i'm hesitant to say that i want to be "the boss" and the only person who has a say in anything, because that obviously scares people away, but if you don't share my outlook on these things, i'll either ask you to quit, or i'll break up the band... i don't want to be involved with people who think they're too good to play this or that... i appreciate and encourage suggestions of any kind, but ultimately, like i said, i'm starting this band to do music the way that i want to do it, not somebody else... if you feel that your outlook on things is too important to be ignored from time to time, then i would suggest that you do what i'm doing and try to start your own band... this one is for me... WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: basically, i need a drummer and a bass player just to be able to start working... ideally, the core of the band will be me on guitar, a drummer, a bassist, a keyboardist and probably a female vocalist... some other people that do some other different things will also probably drift in and out of the band, so if you're a shredding guitar player or a lap steel player or a horn player or a violinist or whatever, don't hesitate to get a hold of me (i can't guarantee that you'll be "in the band", but there are certainly instances where i could use some different people)... also, don't be surprised and/or insulted if you're not the only person that does what you do that i work with... everybody brings something different and i'm not against using what i need when i need it... for example, i have a friend who is a very technique based drummer, but he lacks some things in the "feeling" department... there have been times when i've played the drums on a track or used another drummer because i think, despite the fact that he is actually a "better" drummer, he wasn't the better drummer for that track... you might be the right guy for one gig and not another... also, it makes me very paranoid to rely on any one person... i've always said that the worst thing about playing music is the people that you have to rely on... it would give me some piece of mind to have a few different people who can pull off a job for me, at least until i get the impression that you are as enthusiastic about what i'm doing as i am... i won't get into specifics as far as what i'm looking for as far as style and all that... i really just want to see what's out there and go from there... i do, however, want to make a few things clear as far as some non-musical things i'm looking for or not looking for... anybody that is in this band has to have a very open mind and have a good sense of humor... a sick, warped sense of humor like mine would be even better :) i'm not interested in being involved with self-righteous morality whores... also, since musicians are known for this sort of thing, my stance on drugs and alcohol is as follows: i'm not your father, i'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do, i'm not going to proclaim some sort of rule against doing this or that, but the second your indulgences get in the way of me being able to do what i want to do, you're out... like, i'll kick you out of the band in the middle of a song kind of thing... i might throw my guitar at you :) ok, but seriously, just try to keep it together... i myself am a relatively frequent drinker and, these days, an occasional marijuana user (i used to be worse), so far be it from me to judge anybody, but like i said, you have to be able to pull off your part in all this... i'm going to go out of my way to make sure my own habits don't get in the way, please do the same... also, i'm not looking for anybody to fit into any particular "profile" to be in this band... i don't care how old you are, i don't care what color your skin is, or what your last name is, or whether you're a guy or a girl (i want a female singer only because i want to do some songs that a female would sing, like some motown stuff and some country, and also because of the typically higher vocal range), or if you're gay or straight, or if you used to be a man, or if you're a cop, or if you're ugly or beautiful or skinny or fat... i just want people that can play and want to be in this band and aren't going to bring baggage and problems to the band... one thing i see mentioned in alot of these ads is the issues of jam spaces, gear and transportation, so here's my outlook... number one, at least at first, we're going to have to rely on hourly rehearsal studios (which i will pay for, i guess), unless somebody has a better situation... i live in brampton and i don't have a car, so i'll be taking transit which necessitates that i travel light, so the whole hourly rehearsal thing actually kinda works out for me... i don't care if you have a car as long as you can get to wherever we need to be... if and when we play a gig or get our own space or play in some other situation where the gear is not provided, you will be ultimately responsible for getting yourself and your gear there... i do have some options in that instance for my own self and gear, and i will try to help whenever i can, but don't count on it... as far as gear goes, i don't care if you have "pro gear"... i don't care what it looks like or what brand it is, as long as it works 100% of the time and sounds good... so anyway, if you are a DRUMMER, a BASSIST, a KEYBOARDIST, or a FEMALE VOCALIST, and you think that you would like to come along with me in the direction i am trying to head, then please contact me... also, like i said, if you play any other sort of instrument, i welcome an opportunity to hear you play and see if we can't use you here and there... i am very serious about this and i haven't played in quite some time so i'm eager to get started as soon as possible... i look forward to hearing from you... thank you, chris black_heart_chris@hotmail.com • Location: Toronto

I’m looking for a bassist and a drummer. My influences are Queen, gothic metal like Type O Negative, and 70’s progressive rock. I recorded an album based on those influences which you can hear at:
http://www.myspace.com/nosoulsinmanchester If you want to pursue music in that style, send me a message. The primary goal is to play live, have a smashing good time and perhaps have some transcendental experiences along the way. If the music feels good, then let’s take it as far as it can go. The `debut’ record is completed so there are some songs to play around with right from the start. Musicians with a bit of experience in previous professional situations are preferred. Singing ability is a huge plus. Please have some audio available of your current or previous works. nsim@ikonowerk.com • Location: GTA

Toronto-based Heavy Metal/ Hard Rock band seeks a committed, talented and fun-loving bassist.
We have eleven complete songs that lack bass lines, of course so your input and creativity would definitely be encouraged. It is difficult to classify our music in a specific genre, but our influences include Metallica, Killswitch Engage, Mudvayne, Chimaira, Devildriver, and System of a Down among many others. Lyrically, our sound is characterized by a mixture of screaming and growling with melodic singing. Instrumentally, it consists of a mixture of hard, thrashy riffs and melodic, soft rhythms. We have played a number of shows and are now ready to begin recording and marketing ourselves; we simply need a bassist to complete the band and begin moving forward. We are always making new music, so your expertise will always be welcome. We also rent our own rehearsal space. Feel free to reply if you’re interested and/or have any questions. • Location: Toronto
