Stage mix 101. You either have to have the drivers behind the drummer or an alternate monitor source, such as IEM for the drummer. Can't blame the rear ports for bad stage mix setup.

They are about even with the drummer. I am hoping that the rear ports don't act differently than the other cab.
About even = sketchy.
This is a not an uncommon problem. The first thing is that the drummer HAS to hear the bass. Also, drummer's tend to set up as far stage back as possible. They actually should be mid stage; but, it is hard to break those kind of bad habits. So, I always angle my cabs at least 30 - 40 degrees toward the drummer. If necessary, I would point my cab at the drummer. I'd rather be all monitor with my cab and lock with the drummer than send sound out into the audience that is not hooked up with the drummer. But, that's me.
