I had an issue like this with a very simple song. No matter what, it seemed like myself and the other drummer were always "off". We finally figured out the problem when I set my digital metronome next to his old wooden one and found out that mine was running faster than his even though they were set at the same BPM. Just something you might consider...
"your actual BPM may vary..." sounds like you'd do better with your digital than your buddy's old one...this is one case where old-school isn't necessarily better...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
