Great answers guys!
Sub par drummers are the norm, allways have been.
I wouldn't get a ringer, just do what you can with the what you've got.
Using a click can be great, but if the drummer isn't experienced with one, it can be a disaster.
Do the best you can. Don't try to make every band into Led Zeplin when their not.
Good luck!
I agree, Vocals and drums are most important.
if the drummers blows, spend a little extra time on getting some great vocal tracks.
That will bring the cd up a notch.
If you try to get the drummer to play great, it will take too long and the band will run out of $.
Just let the band leave with a quality product and it will do great for your studio.
