Crazy Reqs

I've seen "Drummer Wanted" ads on Craigslist for a few years now but I've never seen a requirement for a specific brand of drums! Found that requirement on the kenosha-racine > community > musicians site:

Paying gigging band looking for a young experienced drummer (Kenosha)

Talented duo (guitar/bass) to round out a 3 piece band alt rock and classic rock crowd pleasing gems only like "The Way" by Fastball and "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel we also play newer stuff like "There's Nothing Holding Me Back" by Sean Mendes

We have the vocals and guitars covered with 100+ popular cover songs. We also would possibly like to pay to have lead guitarists who will sit in with us playing slide and other lead styles.

We only use top notch American made guitars and British/American made vintage tube amps.

Please have a DW drum Set and also you should play note for note (no show off drummers)

Please do not have drug or alcohol dependencies and also be respectful of personal space and have respect for women.

Future touring is a possibility but not imperative. Our immediate focus is that we want to play gigs and do interviews on local and college radiostatiobs around the Midwest.

I play either a Ludwig Vistalite acoustic set or a Yamaha electronic set - I've never owned a DW set. Frankly, I've seen Mike Portnoy make a Hello Kitty drum set sound cool so having a requirement to own / use a specific brand of drums ignores the big picture of even posting a "Drummer Wanted" ad on Craigslist.
