click....click....click...CLICK...click....click...

Hey Andy! I am curious......

Do you ever record drums without the click? Modify the click to certain songs? If so, how do you find the reference points? or do you use it all time as if the drummers life depended on it?

we got a few tunes that have some extreme tempo changes and time changes, and a "straight" click is not working out at all, half the song seems too slow or too fast.....it's getting messy behind the drum kit!

I program the click so it maybe goes up a couple of bpm in the chorus, it's not difficult once you get the hang of it. It's important to use a shaker or something in there as 16th so the drummer can actually groove, alot of guys find just a cowbell (not surprisingly) a bit off putting
