Why do drummers hate recording with a click track?

The answer is simple......it's stressful! As a drummer you're being ask to stay in time for the duration of a song with an annoying wood block sound in your ears. I have seen the best drummers struggle and become frustrated. One thing we've discovered at Digital Street Studio is that drummers really don't need a click while they record. If basic instrument tracking (guitar and vox) have been completed while using a click track, then silence the click track. At that point you have a guitar track that is locked-in for tempo. The drums can now be tracked in time without the use of a click. Hope to see you soon in the studio.
