Never done it, but if I was gonna do something like that, I'd use the built in metronome in the recording software or a drum machine and then record the vocals, bass, guitars.
After that, I'd delete the metronome or drum machine track and have the drummer play live.
Once again, I've never done it, but it's an idea to think about.

Oh... if you do it like that make sure to have the bass and drums as far away from the master track as you can and use plenty of compression.
Something like this:
1) Master Track
2) metronome ( to be deleted )
3) guitars
4) vocals
5) bass
6) drums

I recently read an article saying that when you have the drums and bass too close to the master track, the master track is affected in a bad way.
Hope that helps bro.
Someday I`ll play like in my dreams.
