If your going to do this seriously so to speak then you need a live drummer lots of practice.You might have to postpone doing gigs to get tight as a band.Sometimes a free gig or two is great promotion that is after you have a tight band and gig list to practice workout the songs.Word of mouth is the key if good things are said then lots of people including bar/store /shop owners and or house managers will here about it. Personally speaking a backing /midi type tracking for drums just wont cut it !! Studio or recording at home is different.Live band is just that, when I go out (longtime ago) it was to check out the local talent and or competition.Alot of times you meet fellow artists and find band members at gigs.Getting paid is a tricky thing.Do a few free (well if at bar and you drink get drinks free or coffee or food,,,,,.lol.............) gigs at the same venue maybe 2 nights on weekends and discuss pay from there.
