The drummer didnt mess up. The rest of the band were dragging and trying to stay with the choir. Thats all wrong. The choir does not control the tempo. The drummer was on and everyone else was off.
The primary reason for this is the size of the church. The sound of the drums are getting to the far end of the choir late. Therefore causing them to respond late and cause a drag. And yes, of course, the drummer gets blamed for bad acoustics. Thats why being a good musician also involves playing to the acoustics of the room and the available sound system. In the case of that clip, I usually just KISS!!! (Keep It Simple Stupid!!!) 
Sustained!! My wife and I were just talking about that while we were watching the clip. When you play it again, you realize the drummer didn't get off beat. Now the fill he did was kinda what threw the choir off, but he never got lost.
If I mess up, I'll admit it. But I hate that the fact that it's the drummer's fault that other musicians are "tempo-etically challenged." I don't let musicians put that on me anymore. I'm too old and have lost all fear of repercussions of telling the truth. When another instrumentalist looks at me funny because they or another band member messed up with the tempo, I just look them in the eyes and say, "That was your fault." Or, "That was his fault." If they don't look at me, I don't say anything. But when they start trying to push blame, I quickly let them know that I'm not the one to take blame for something that I had no control over.
It's time out for that crap!!
