RE: Human drummer:oxymoron?

I'm assuming you do not actually want to loop the drum audio, but rather 
just the bass (or whatever you might be playing).  In which case, you'll 
need something like the RedSound Micro Sync or something similar to take 
the drummer's audio and convert it to MIDI clock and then run it to the 
Repeater.  Knowing that the Repeater syncs to MIDI fairly well (and there 
are some that will argue this, but not by much), then it is really a 
question of how well the Micro Sync works--that and how to send drum audio 
to the Micro Sync and then MIDI info to the Repeater.  A mic on the bass 
drum to an empty mixer channel to an unused aux send or straight out via 
the mixer's insert to the Micro Sync to the Repeater via a long-ass MIDI 
cable?  Something like that.  Never tried it (don't know a good drummer).

Subject:        Human drummer:oxymoron?

Hello to all,

I am about to spring for a Repeater.

Does anyone have experience setting up the Repeater to chase a human 
drummer?
If so, what kind of sensor is used, and where is it placed on the drum kit?
How good is the Repeater at locking to syncopated rhythms?
Am I expecting too much from this machine?

TIA
