i need suggestions on how to form a new one?
but what i really am asking is this: what kind of genre of music should the band be?
i know i'm a punk/metalcore influenced drummer. but i like other stuff too.
what should i do?
While it's good to learn other things--and if you want to stretch your chops as a drummer, you should--it's also good to look for other musicians that share your interests. If you're all focused in the same direction, it's gonna show in your performance.
Don't sell craigslist short...but don't rely on that alone either. I'm sure you've met more than a few musicians in your playing...check around with the guys and gals you know. That's what they call "networking"...and as drummer says, it might be easier to join another band and be ready for a new gig than to try to create an all-new band all at once.
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
