I auditioned for jazz combos on piano, but since I included bass and drums in my audition video, I'm now playing drums in a jazz combo.  How do I learn to keep from dragging the tempo when I mostly have to practice alone?  I always tend to try and follow instead of lead, probably from playing along to recordings and also being more of a pianist/non-drummer.  The cats are killin and I don't wanna let them down :(
if you are really always on the slow side, then i guess the simple solution would be to play a little faster
