Drum loop for Drum dubbing

Hello!

I recently realized a lot of drummers play to loops rather than just a click track. This makes a lot of sense, it gives a lot more pockets for the drummer to play to, and makes editing drums a lot easier.

I was wanting to ask, what is the recommended way of going about this without having to sequence an entire drum track ? I would prefer arranging loops instead.

mastering a loop

I had started threads in forums for my local city offering my services for recording demos basically. One dj guy responded asking about mastering, i said id give it a go just to see if i could help him, but he just sent me a loop of about 5 seconds long with 2 notes.
I'm just asking is it common to master that or is he just misled?

I'm sure many of you fine guitarists have used the Jamman or other looping pedal. I'm even confident that several of you have tips and tricks that we need to hear about! Here's my specific question - how the heck do you keep a tempo live? I mean, even if the drummer and vocals can hear your guitar, traditionally, they don't follow you, the guitar follows the rythm or voice.
