Thanks for all the input, guys! I've been talking to my band, and I think we'll use the suggestions on the drummer having to learn to play to a click track/metronome, and also having the drums keep a beat metronome-like when there's a drum-free part and then cut it out later.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
