Rehearsals are an absolute nightmare; he's so blinkered, frustrating and unproductive, but by and large when we gig, generally he does seem to be able to pull things together, but again we're subject to the same ups/downs and lack of dynacism. Literally, just going through the numbers.
MacDaddy saw us a couple of weeks ago...his opinion might be useful here if he's willing to chip in.

You rang?
Yup MacWifey and I were at the gig mentioned in the OP. Didn't see the soundcheck with the other drummer, but enjoyed the gig. Didn't notice any drumming timing issues or cockups, none of the songs seemed to be too fast, or to be dragging.
Is being late to gigs a regular thing? Its easy to say get rid of him, but drummers seem to be in short supply. Most drummers I know play in 2 or 3 bands.
