Most of the songs on Metamorphosis are studio musicians. I don't think Charlie plays on IORR (the song) either. Ronnie plays drums on Sleep Tonight.

I have read of several cases in the 1960s where producers replaced the bands drummer with a studio drummer. This is notable with the first version of Love Me Do where Ringo was replaced. On several early Kinks songs (including You Really Got Me), Mick Avory is replaced by a studio drummer. So was Charlie ever replaced with a studio drummer by a producer in the 60's?

Jimmy Miller played drums on YCAGWYW. I think Charlie has said that he was having a hard time
getting the right feel of the song, and when Jimmy Miller sat down to show him, Charlie told him to just play it himself.
As many here have noted, Jimmy Miller, in addition to being a great producer, was a talented drummer.
