Does anyone know or have any ideas on how to perform chord pushes without having the Drums follow the pushes. I'm using a classic rock style at 116bpm and want the drums to keep their regular pattern and have the rest of the rhythm section push the third beat of the measure (ala Learning to Fly by Tom Petty). The Drum style i'm using gives a cymbal crash accenting the pushes.

I'm trying to get a strumming pattern that changes chords on the "and" of beat two. The only way I can see to do this is to perform a push on the first chord of the second half of a measure but the drums accent the push. I want the push with no accent by the drums.

Is this possible or am I hopeless?!
