Of course the other thing would be for more drummers to save some cash, and invest a little in their own band. Then call the practices and rehearse your band yourself. That would end this whole thing but quick. Sooner than later, that will end up being my strategy.
In the real world, musicians get paid. I used to play some gigs as a singer, and would hire a bass player and pianist. We would do a trio . The pianist was from the local conservatory. He was the best. We would make about $150 a gig. I would give the pianist $100 and the bass player $50. I could have gotten a pianist for half the price; but I had a good job at the time. I wasn't doing it for the cash. I needed two guys who could come in and do the gig without a rehearsal and wtihout a problem. If you want a good pianist, you are going to have to pay him.
