Hey, guys, I've been in some bands, but I couldn't hold on there because:

band 1- We practised on a small room, a guitar and a keyboard, only one amp.
band 2- They had a drum kit, a garage, some guitars... but I was the only one who could PLAY. The other guys where standing, looking at me, playing while the drummer was playing some crap. I have played drums for about... 30 mins. my whole life, and I can play MUCH better than that drummer in my former band.

I know some good drummers, but:
1-They already have a band.
2-They don't have a drum kit neither a garage where we can make noise.

And the good guitarists i know:
1-Too far away
2-Already have a band
3-Don't have decent equipment

So, I'm kinda on trouble... I can't play live or anything, because I can't sing at all. Only some backing vocals.
PS: I live in a flat.. so, no noise is allowed in my place.

I've had similar problems. Many of the people I know just don't have space to practice!
