Maybe you should move on from the 'perfect drums' ideal. I have input on the process and pop in throught the day. It takes him one or two days to do an amazing job on 3 tracks.

Then I usually pay my ex assistant who is a PT editing whizz to come in to tighten the tracks up. Usually I chose to record the following ways Practice! I have replaced band members in productions but it is EXTREMELY fraught with political issues and there is a tricky balancing act between good product and a producer keeping his job. If you DO work with bands you have several options ahead of you. This demonstrates how little they understand about working with bands. People from group 2 usually say 'get folks that can really play in'. Bands are 'gangs' it's hard to split up a gang. People from group 1 have awkward issues faceing them. What I see on audio forums frequently are two views. I never wanted to be a computer operater when I grew up. But have still allocated 7 days of editing with an assistant. I am thankfully working with a great drummer next week. I am just so fed up at this point of taking a week or more of my life to get drums PERFECT.

How are you all getting drums in time usually? How do we all feel about making a drummer who has never played to a click play to one? how much 2" editing are you usually doing. I have done the editing tape thing., The making the drummer play to a click even when he has no experience with one and punching the drum track to death thing, and the taking a few takes and editing together thing. In the end the product is there and no one has any idea but I dont wanna do it this way.

I spent about 200 hours editing 40 minutes of music in Pro Tools. So recently I think i got a god complex after making one of the worst drummers I ever worked with sound like a god on a record that has been getting some pretty insane aclaim.
