Hey all, long time no talk,
I still attend the Manhattan school of Music and have been very busy lately but am going to
try and get back on these forums because there are some very knowledgeable people on here.
Anyways one thing i have been wandering about and have not been able to get an answer for is in regards to studio work. Lets say John Doe is a studio drummer and he is hired to play on Lady Gaga's or Matt Nathanson's albums. Does he only get an hourly rate for his time in the studio or does he get royalties from air time and also album sales? i'm guessing there are different ways but i'm really wandering whats the "standard". i'm guessing they will cover this in my Practical issues for performers or studio techniques classes but thats not until next year and even then it may be more instrument related. i'm really bummed they don't have a music business class here.
thanks.
