Xavier Jackson amateurs are for sure, but the guys who know, use bands. Mainstream artists like Ariana Grande and beiber generally program drums for studio recordings, but most use bands for their live gigs.
They don't pick them. It's more of management looks for a Musical director and said Music director picks the musicians they know/trust would be a good fit for the music.
