Loose drummer

The members of my band are good musicians, even my drummer is creative, but he plays loose--at least to the other three members' ears. When I say loose, I mean he loses time on some (about 2/3) of his fills, but he can keep a straight beat. His high-hat will usually stay straight through the bad fills, and he can keep damn good time with a metronome but his tom work is lack-luster at best.

Signal processing order. revisited

I know Kurt has addressed this, and I know it was recently (within a few months) but I can't find it anywhere. So I can't 'revisit' it.

So, can you guys re-state your preferred chain of events when setting up tracks. Vocal, Guitar, Drums. etc. Or Just Vocals.

ie. signal->compression-eq-reverb
signal->gate-eq-compression-compression-reverb
