In a band or orchestra they take away your instrument and give you drumsticks when you can't play. Then if you're bad at that they take one away and you stand in front. LOL old one.

The use of the conductor, both in front of the group, and using the conductor feature in band in a box should solve the problem, as long as the drummer can see the director making time. In marching bands we made the drummer start out by hitting the drum every time the left foot hit the ground. As long as he's in step. Problem with click tracks and drummers is they like to wail on the things and you wonder if they can hear the band. Learning drum technique with brushes and hitting the bass drum pedal on the downbeat during practice, using a conductor might get the guy in sync. Another problem I've seen at the church where my brass band plays, is the drummer leaves his only kit at the church and never practices. That can't be good.....
