I absolutely love Steve Houghton. I think he has done so much for drum set education through his books and videos. However, a roboticized version of Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th is the worst play along track I can imagine. I hope Beethoven has words with Steve in the next life. I like to practice to songs that I am certain have a click, or I'm certain that the drummer is good.

Johannes Brahms didn't want to put metronome markings on his scores because he felt that the machines weren't human. He relented when pressured.
Musicians should be feeling the beat and listening to each other to make music that's truly musical.
If you're playing to play-along tracks it would be great if they were created with humans providing their own internal metronome rather than the machine.
