Looking for metalcore/prog drummer for recording and potentially more (Clayton)

Like the title says, looking for a drummer that would be interested in helping record the drum tracks for songs/ep I'm working on. Assuming we work together good and both want to, potentially could turn into playing shows. Credit will be given to the drummer. Most of my songs I do midi drum beats to but I am not a drummer so I lack the ability to add flavor with accents and good transitions/fills. Ideally I am looking for a drummer that knows metalcore/prog metalcore/deathcore/death metal. So must be efficient on double bass, odd beats that still flow. Some of my songs do go from 4/4 to a 3/4, then back to 4/4. That is the hardest for me to figure a drum beat and fills for. For someone seasoned, it may be easy not sure. I love heavy riffs with some good breakdowns. But I also love melodic heavy as well which all reflects in what I write.
My fav bands in this area and inspirations are but not limited to Invent Animate, Currents, Lorna Shore, Signs of the Swarm, Whitechapel, Immortal Disfigurement, Killswitch, Parkway Drive, All That Remains, As I Lay Dying, Erra, Veil Of Maya, Kublai Khan, After The Burial, Chelsea Grin, Attila, Emmure and much more. As you can see its all around the place, but most of my writing stems from that general idea. You don't have to be legendary status on the drums although if you are that's great. Just be proficient with your instrument as I am not new to this myself and have played for a long time. So I would prefer like minded trustworthy people who are just good people all around and who know how to play. Don't bring no political bullshit as it seems like that is what most of the scene is nowadays which is a big reason I quit playing bands and shows in the first place. I respect any and everyone regardless of political views as long as I'm given respect back. So I just want to play good heavy music without all the extra bs we have to already deal with every day of our lives. I'm very easy to get along with and like no drama.
If this is something you're interested in, hit me up. I'm 31, been playing guitar/music for 24 years and music has always been my passion. I have an established life and work a full time job which makes good money so to be transparent, I'm not looking to be the next big thing at least at the moment. Of course, that is my dream. However, for me to leave what I have going on, music would have to make enough to replace my current career for me to go full time musician.
If you have any questions, hit me up. I can also send demos of some of my songs.
