The pizza idea might work for other musicians as well.

will cause a lot of pain and frustration.
I don't believe the click track has any influence on the pain and
frustration. With click, pain and frustration for the drummer, without
click pain and frustration for me in the mix. That's why I want to use
it ;-)
Btw I didn't say he had no steady beat. Also the steadiness doesn't have
an effect for setting the tempo except the whole song is somewhere
within the delta of the drummers tempo rather than being at THE tempo.
