school doesn't want to let me go to NAMM on the 22nd, cause nobody is qualified to sub my art history class, lame
that's what i'm thinking, i'm supposed to do event documentation there, hopefully nobody is gonna get irritated
I've been drinking mead tonight and put this band on:
Haven't listened to it for some time. DAT BASS

Have your drummer get a metronome, or even cheaper a metronome app for his phone - give him an earbud (or two, or headphones, whatever). He plays to the click, the rest of you follow him.
Oh Micah is going to be pissed if he who hates video games actually digs this and cuts into his Minecraft time...
Through the PA should be pretty easy. Can just point one of the PA monitors directly at the drummer so he can hear it OK. We've never played to a click before so of course a month before we're supposed to record I've started looking into it 
I figure if we start now, that gives us enough time to get used to practicing with one and deciding if we want to record with one. The new songs we wrote are more difficult to play than anything in the past so I want to at least try the click to make studio time go smoother.

in my old old band pre-recording practice we practiced using a computer, a headphone splitter and in ear headphones. running it through a speaker was tricky - if there was a high pitched guitar bit that washed into the same frequency range as the click we'd not be able to hear it, and that can be a bit of pain if you're intentionally practicing to it.
The drummer in my last band always played to a click, the rest of us never needed to listen to it because it was always guiding the drums.
A lot of metronomes have lights that indicate the "1" and sometimes the off beats. That can be helpful to a drummer if the rest of the band is very loud and it's hard to hear the click.

Gotta say he was the first person ive seen ever do that live. I did have a chuckle.
Ill always remember the dude jacked up on pcp or somepoopie duding push ups on stage during our set. And the dude that cracked his head open on an icy curb. Good times.
But buy the actual Neutrik connectors. I've read reports about the off brands breaking off in the female parts.
I also recommend SOOW cable from a hardware store. Very durable, rugged waterproof stranded cable. Size 14/3 (if you don't need to biamp) would be the most common size (probably cheapest too).
Probably don't need anything larger that 16 gauge even for the highest wattages, but below 14 gauge rugged cables get hard to find.
Doing this will make a cable better than what you can buy. Should last nearly forever.
