From what I understand...If the Manager is acting as a Producer as well, then their situation is sort of like an Artist-Development deal. In an A-D deal, it is typical that the producer will take a 50% cut...but, it is also typical that the producer would be the one paying for the studio time...
Cool Out Charger

Karate!!!
The best drum sounds I've heard would be on Karate's third album, The Bed Is In The Ocean. Amazing room sounds. Well, check out any Karate album for that matter.
