After reading the other comments above, I guess I'd agree that if you don't have a great drummer - don't even try it. My drummer is actually really good and has a very quick ear -- he locks in very quickly and I change songs without even notifying him. And he has no problem following me - its not very hard considering I have an 18inch QSC subwoofer on the stage which is impossible to ignore.
