A really good AE once told me that a band is only as strong as their drummer and as weak as their singer.

And it's 100% true.

For the original poll I get a lot of C and a bit of D. Once in a while I get B and those players just suck. If I get someone who just can't play I either kick 'em out of the place or just deal with it depending on how much time they booked.

Jules, I gotta disagree to a point on the analog vs. digital thing on drums. The worse the drummer is the more important it is to track to a DAW, sound be damned. At that point cutting to a click and using a grid is key.

Damn, I can't believe I just typed that. Someone should take my Studer away.
