I wanted to write about a situation, involving my work on a demo.
I’m drummer in Southern California and less than a year ago I was involved with a band. We were in the process of recording our demo, I in the process of recording my drum tracks.
Inevitably, I was dis(sed)-missed from the band.
A few months go by & these guys put together the demo & start putting it out there & promoting it. Promoting it WITHOUT giving me credit on the drum-work. Additionally, they are also selling it for profit. Now, to give you a little back story-when I was with the band, I had a lock-out studio where we could practice anytime anyday. I paid the majority of the rent not by choice but because the rest of the guys couldn’t afford to pay their end (This alone should have been reason enough for me to quit, I think). I gave up the lock-out(bad move) to save us some cash. Less than 2 weeks go by & they decide to kick me out of the band.
So,
I cut drum tracks for this band
They kick me out
They use my drum tracks for their demo
The sell the demo & I don’t get any credit OR paid for it
I would like people’s feedback about this. Is this fair? What’s wrong with this?
For those people out side of this area, I want you to realize how bad the scene or the people in it, can be.
I can get into specifics of why I was kicked out, & who these rotten perpetrators are… ask me
