Hi. Longtime lurker, and I just joined. Thanks for any advice, and sorry for not knowing what forum is best to put this in. Anyway...
I play in a small local band. My drummer wants a contract that makes it clear how much money comes to him and the other band mates. That's not a problem.
The problem is: I pay 100% of the rehearsal time, recording fees, mixing fees, mastering fees, promotion, music videos etc. I do this because I'm the songwriter, and also 2 of the 4 members are broke as a joke. And it's gonna cost somewhere between $8000 to $12000 for our next album once you include a publicist and music videos.
tl;dr: What percentage should my drummer get when he doesn't contribute any money to the band?
