Damn, it's nearly our 20th birthday as a band and we lost our drummer again. He plays in 3 different bands and has now decided to leave the drumming and to concentrate on his work. So, 3 bands are now without a decent drummer. We changed 12 drummers during these years, some remain in the band for 5-6 years, some for a couple of months. From now on, we'll be performing without a drummer, with just a rhythm machine. In the meantime, we're looking for a new drummer. If you know someone interested, let us know!
take care!

and yup! We found a new guy! :) New drummer! :) Much much younger fellow, but filled with good drumming skills and good energy! We'll have a premiere with him in 2 months.
@KingNothing. 56 musicians went through the band. Inquisitor is the only one from the original line-up. The original singer Robert left the band after the first year.
Wow! 12 drummers?! You know they're not like cell phones, right? You don't need to trade them in for a new model every few years :P
Just kidding, of course. That's a real bummer :(
I'm curious, since you've had so many lineup changes, how many founding members of dreddup are left in the band?
@Coryaya: We always wanted a female drummer. We have one friend and she can drum like hell and she's got the pro looks but she's into rockabilly and punk. I've already asked her twice to come and play drums for us.
@Jazzy: We can always count on our old drummers to come in and do the concerts with us, but we'll be then playing old songs. And that's not what we want to in future live shows.....
