You must develope your own meter so to speak. I have notice while having a chance to play with some very influential guitar players that they all did the same thing. They hammer the beat with their feet hehe sounds funny but it works. I have been doing it for quite awhile now and found that it becomes second nature and synonimous with your playing. And this way if a meter mistake happens then you can always blame it on the drummer =) I blame him for most of my mistakes anyway =)But meter is the key to everything musical, and the steadier the better. I find most local drummers I run into have terrible meter. But anyway try carring your own meter off your drummer by tapping your footm, it will become second nature to you.
