You can try a guy named João Colaço in Portugal.

Here's a clip :

If it doesn't work out, network with him.

Good luck!

Good luck Ralf...I've been looking for a drummer myself, and even with millions of people within an hour of me, I'm still having no luck. Good drummers seem to be a dying breed.

Hey Ralf....is there any Drug Rehabs in your country???, Cause that's where a lot of punk drummers I've known frequent between bands...It's right back to business as usual after they find another gig though. 8)
