Hey everybody. I am looking to hire a bunch of drummers to do some session work. I really don't know what sort of prices to expect & thought it would make sense to get some advice from real drummers. So here I am...
Basically the main requirement (besides being able to groove) is that they need to be able to self record. I'd like to get a lot of different sounds, so I don't think I'd hire anyone for more than a few hours, unless they really knew how to get different kit sounds out of their studio. I was planning on just sending some mp3's of songs I dig, so they can groove along. They would not have to travel outside their studio.
I would be reselling these recordings in digital format on a small scale.
That's pretty much it. Any feedback or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS Is there anywhere in particular I'd be able to post online (I'm thinking locally in craigslist), that would be appropriate to post for a job like this?
PPS Normally when I work with creatives, I pay half up front & half on the back end. Would that normally be ok with drummers?
