Guitar Accompaniment Tracks

When recording in a recording studio is the drummer set his first band?
We are thinking of moving to record an album in the next months, but I'm a little concerned my battery can not be experienced enough to lay down drum tracks alone to a click track. I do not think he could play all the songs without accompaniment. What are my options? We have a trio, drums, guitar, bass. (The drummer is very inexperienced, he was originally a guitarist, but took the battery in June, due to our need, it works fine as a live drummer) Thanks!
Hey Tyson: How others have said here .... there is no hard fast rule, and nothing can be broken! The late Tom Dowd, probably the largest studio engineer to walk the face of the earth used to record the Allman Brothers Live! This was a band too large to be a live recording in the studio, but the way Tom and The Allman Brothers preferred it. drums, guitar, bass and should be relatively easy to record live. And there are 2 ways to do it, depending on how the studio is set up. One way is to just have everything set as you play live. There is a problem with this method: The tendency of a drum microphone picking up guitar and bass! But, a good engineer can solve this, if all he eq is the right path when recording. Then, if the studio has isolation booths, which is where the amplifiers go. You still get the definition of life, but the amplifiers and microphones are isolated from each other, as well as the battery too. Personally, while recording my band, we have always done as if we were playing live. Our drummer does not like to play with a metronome, and have a little fluctuation of a couple of hits per minute, here and there that a click track usually do not. When I work on my projects alone, I do not start with "tracks from scratch, though. (if using a human drummer or drum machine) Thats usually guitar and bass played with a metronome. Keep in mind about my projects I play the rhythm and guitar, bass and piano, organ and synths. . Depending on the type of music im doing, I sometimes use a drum machine. The funny thing about it is that I still use a Ribbon, click start recording, guitar and bass only very simplistic. Its then I start to write and program the drum tracks. Once this is done, I'll go back and finish the bottom, and then add the remaining parts in the order that I chose for this particular song. So .. What are your options? Several, but would like to use what comes easy for the band as a whole to do. No matter what method you use, make sure that you are very well rehearsed as a band and individually. Nothing more frustrating than go into a studio and end up not finishing because you ran out of money. By the way, a method you can use to learn to play to a click track is when your band rehearses, he can use a metronome. Our drummer had me make recordings of our band LESS your battery. We would like to record rehersals, but does not record battery. This gave him something that was similar to the risk to your rehersals tracks in their own time. I hope it helped, and good luck!
