Should include "....willing to modify rehearsals to dovetail your GrubHub / DoorDash routes".

Looking for a "cool non-douche" drummer?
Good luck finding the needle in that haystack!

Clearly they got burned in the past by failing to specify their preference for non-douche.

I'd like to see:

Nozzle and Bag seek Canoe for weekly rehearsals and monthly gigs...

I’ve been playing for 40 years and I can count on one hand how many drummers would clear that protocol LOL!

Welcome to Boston

So Anyway, I can imagine the recruitment meeting.
'We suck. How can we ever going to find a drummer?'
'Hold my Sam Adams.'

 

[Jay Corwin]

I too am always seeking people to play with that fit into the cool non-douche category.

They also mentioned "practice". Rehearsals are for getting together. Practice is what you do on your own time.

My favorite non-douchey drummer. The one and only Drummy.

Run-on sentences? Check.
Vague sense of actual music style? Check.
Hints at being burned on CL before? Check.

Yeah, seems like a run of the mill ad on Craiglist to me.

I'm a little surprised that our in-house language filter didn't convert the D-word to "Massengill Country Flowers" or "dog de-skunker".

Anyone who has taken middle school boys to a French speaking country or province knows that you can send them into a bathroom en masse, count to 5 and expect to hear life changing shrieks of hilarity when they discover the shower.

Anyone responding that add is probably a douche drummer who doesn’t think they are a douche drummer. My band (in Boston) just auditioned the perfect guy for them!

My friends band had a douche drummer named Bob. The next and then the third douche drummer was named Bob.
When they advertised for the next drummer they specified "no Bobs".

For medium and heavy events.
