We often prefer a few "pickup" notes before everybody hits the "one." In my bluegrass days we always did that as we did not have a drummer. And we will still do the same on occasion as IMO that's the way many songs of varying genres are introduced. Sometimes several regens will create a solo RT note that comes in early. If not we just find something we like in the track that works and comp it in. FWIW.
