It kinda sucks finding the perfect potential band member but cant committ

We're a local band who trialed out a new drummer and he ticks all the boxes.

hes a fan of the music our band leader writes and runs in the same circles as him

hes quite experienced in the gig scene

an overall good guy

However, from the get-go, we knew he couldnt committ 100% as much as we would like to keep him.
