you can get a soundcard like the presonus firebox and create your own click track, (not the metronome), and output to channel 3/4 to headphones to the drummer only, and have the master output 1/2 to the pa. just a thought

the only way to sidechain in ableton live 6 is through vst plugin. SSC side chain compressor for mac suits me well, although its not perfect. Reason's m class compressor has a sidechain, just figured it out, sounds very smooth.
