| Great advice so far, thanks guys. I should also clarify something. I originally said the band "replaced" the drummer, but it was some sort of general tension between members that caused him to no longer be in the band. They didn't divulge many details, but it wasn't because he couldn't hang.
Replacing the drums with the new drummer is a good idea; but, unfortunately for me, not within their budget.
The legal release seems like the best way to go for all parties. Explain to the current band and former drummer that it is in their own self-interest, both to protect the drummer financially and the band with regards to a record that was already signed for. The art of rhetoric. |
