Was just driving around thinking about this. People ask what they can do to make a living playing drums. Aside from many variables about "making a living," does anyone know what professional drummers make in the lines of those like Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, Vinnie, Virgil, and others who are top players, but not in huge rock or pop bands, but may tour, record, do clinics, have DVDs, maybe teach, etc?
I have gotten the feeling that while people can find out what doctors or nurses make, what lawyers make, what pro athletes make, or plumbers and electricians, or IT pros, or a mayor or governor, or senator, there seems to be a mystery around what professional drummers make.
Some here may be hesitant to answer this? I understand. Just curious. I know they aren't millionaires (unless they have invested very wisely).
