Different situation when the drummer left or been kicked out.
If he left hes responsble for a part of your bill. AND has a right to share in the income of the record.
If he thinks he s better off paying part of the bill and share...the band has no other option than to replace the drumtracks.
It depends on the expectations ......
When its just a live cd to get gigs with basically , the band should considder paying him a fee and get a clearance stating he s out of the entire thing (roayltywise)
It will be cheaper than recording a new drummer....
A clearance without fee will not stand up in court. At least not in Europe. Not sure about US law.
