-Get him out of the studio environment and one on one. Offer to buy lunch.
-Go down the "Look I'm your friend" route.
-Tell him most drummers on professional tracks welcome a click track. It's about the song, not the individual's on the song.
-Tell him that you hear him speeding up tempo which effects the overall outcome of the song. Tell him he sounds good soundwise but the tempo thing needs some work.
-Offer up some time to work with him on the areas you think suck.
The idea is to get him to open up to criticism and for you to be friendly. If these are accomplished then the outcomes will be one of the following:
1. He will say, thanks and ask to get in the studio to work on it. With a click track.
2. He will be a jerk, nothing you can do, but he might come around in a few days.
3. He will be a jerk, nothing you can do, and never come around. Hey you were there to be helpful not hurtful.
People that are not open to criticism will never make it to the top.
Last, vocal tone is everything. Keep it kind and concerned.
