For those of you in a Cover Band, do you set your rates when trying to get a gig? Or does the club, usually just tell you they'll pay you "X" amount of dollars.

What's the going rate, for an hour, a night, a set, etc.??? Before I moved South going rate was usually about $100 a set/hour. Play for at least 3 hours. The other cool thing was that most of the clubs/bars had a drum kit their, so all the drummer had to bring was his snare, cymbals, etc.
