Since you're recording live, try to have the amps and a PA out in the room to make everyone as comfortable as possible (don't worry about isolation since these are the final tracks)...It sounds like this guy isn't a studio drummer so maybe a click is not going to work. Try to make it feel as much like a live show for them since that;s where their comfort zone probably is. Leave it raw, flaws and all, get the best take, and get a really killer mix which can usually compensate for sub par playing.
It is what it is.
