iReal b drums as backingtracks on gigs

[aughii]

Hi,

It got what I thought was a brilliant idea; not to hire a drummer on an upcoming gig, and use the drums on iReal b as backingtracks instead. Is there anyone here who have "live"-experience with the iReal b that way? I would be grateful for any advice.

One of my concerns is the sound-quality of the drum-stuff... another is that they may be too monotonous. Of course a real drummer is the best, but the gig doesn't exactly "invite" to hire full trio, so I guess in this case it'll be computer-drums or no drums at all.

If any of you have successful experience with other drumloop / drum-apps for iPhone or iPad as backingtracks (drums) in live-settings, please share =)

thanks
