I have used the analogy of tuba players being the equal of the bass players in the kids' favorite rock/rap groups. Sometimes the appeal of being the big subwoofer of the band got their attention.

I have also had some luck with drummers who will not be the star of the group but do have some rhythmic aptitude.

One other approach for me has been to look for those who want to be bass players in groups. They have some of the aptitude that we look for in a good tuba player.
