Because Dave Grohl can’t play for everybody, Austin, TX-based musician Todd Hansen (formerly of Chicago indie rockers the Winter Blankets) has launched Drummer Hunter, an online portal designed specifically to link talented skinmen to the bands that need them. Using a model typically used on dating sites (and utilizing the same software), drummers can create profiles that specify their influences, styles and party preferences, all in a searchable database. Bands can also post “drummer needed” profiles, with the option to upload audio and video of their group in action. The site, which launched last week, already boasts over 150 profiles from rock and rhythm seekers from all over the U.S. and Canada. There’s already good news: any bands in the Los Angeles area that sound like Deftones seeking a guy versed in “pillage and plunder” are suddenly having a really good day.
