<<< I am looking for a video that shows how a drummer could create their own click tracks to send to me so I can use that during a jam session. >>>

Here is my take on what you're attempting to do from my experience in recording in recording studios. This is directed toward your drummer but is relevant and works for any audio and instrument, including vocals, prior to an actual recording session be it a jam session, demo or commercial release project.

Having your drummer record their bongos or congas over the Chord Chart and naming the user track appropriately and insert their track against these chords is a great idea. The technique will work with any instrument, piano, guitar, vocals, keys, brass, banjo, mandolin - really anything you record that may be considered to include in your project.

Pre recording tracks is very common and extremely useful, especially if a group of musicians are having to pay for studio time. It saves time and money. These are called scratch tracks and are intended as placements in project until a part can be seriously and properly overdubbed in. It is not uncommon for a scratch track instrument to ultimately be replaced with an different instrument. An example is you want to hear a guitar part in your project but your session guitarist is not available. You use what you have at the moment. For instance, use a guitarist that is not as proficient as the intended session play but can play simple fills and solo for placement into the guitar slot until the proper piece can be recorded. Another example is again, your guitarist is unavailable so the keys player records a scratch guitar part using a guitar midi patch until the track can be properly recorded. Sometimes a part initially intended as a scratch track ends up included in a project or a guitar may be replaced with another instrument during a project. A great example you may be familiar with is the saxophone riff in Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" was originally written and arranged to be an electric guitar.

A click track can be a simple metronome and is specific to the tempo, meaning it will work on any song played at the tempo the click is recorded to. A drum scratch track may be a simplified arrangement to work as a metronome so other session players can practice or record their parts until the drummer actually records the intended arrangement.
