I played for a band here in Phoenix and the gigs were your standard bar gig. We played seven nights a week and sometimes twelve shows a week. Unless it was a festival or something out of the ordinary I got 50 bucks a show. There were three of us in the band. We would play three 45 minute sets and it was pretty rough going but, I got a lot better at drums. I don't do it any more but still am sort of hoping to again soon.
The festivals paid a lot more to the leader of the band, but i don't think i ever got away with more than 150 in a night.
free food and drinks(non-alcoholic) were standard.
the cd's is where the money comes from, starting at 12 bucks and working down for the people who can't/won''t pay it.
as you can see, i didn't make a lot. the band leader, however, drove a bmw and had a 5 bedroom house. some nights i know, if there was no crowd he would walk with maybe 25 bucks. but on a slamming night, he could walk with 3,4,5 hundred. we got 50, always and maybe some tips.
