Those rates are WAY too high. A lot of musicians who just record demos at home will have better setups than this. No experience yet...no sweet studio w/a nice room for drums, control room, monitors you can crank while tracking drums, super clean power, ability to crank LOUD anytime you want (track drums at midnight). I'd say do it for super cheap to start...free or maybe $100 a day until you get some CD's under your belt w/some good bands and experience/reputation. $30 to $40 an hour will get you an AWESOME engineer with a proven track record and experience and speed.
