I saw a similar concept once when touring in Germany with a drummer that had huge all ear covering "hearing protection gear for construction workers" and inside those monsters he had normal audio headphones. So he could hear everything at nice and moderate level. He played fantastic! It wasn't a looping band though, rather hit oriented chart stuff with five musicians on stage and an eight track ADAT tape recorder filling up with backtracks like orchestral parts, huge choirs, drum loops or techno style synth sequences. Only the drummer had the backtrack channels in his monitoring. Everyone else played along with him - and as a result it all locked up well in the PA without sounding too stiff. But drummers that can play well along to a click track (which a looper essentially is, from his perspective) are so rare. Why is that? Probably because it's dead boring and totally unnatural as a musical activity.
