The entertainment 'industry' has at least two "types":

A: Professionals working together to provide quality and professional entertainment services.
B: People who just 'entertain' and believe because they can play an instrument, they can essentially deliver whatever suits them in their own way.

I have worked with both.

I kept type A

Type B, no matter how hard it was, could not stay, and I had to let them go. To continue would have been disastrous. Some players lasted a few months, some much less.

At least one time, Type A, who was a very close friend and despite being a sensational drummer, seemed to lose interest. Professionalism needed to apply and I replaced him. That's part of the job also. Our friendship remained, but we didn't work together again.

Usually, type A lasts for years, (we still occasionally perform together).
