In my copy of RealBand, if I hit Preferences -> Metronome-> Metronome Settings I see "Allow coutin before playback" which can be unchecked.

There is also a "Silent Countin" checkbox there.

Just checked, it works okay here.

*If you are using a RealDrums track, the countin will be recorded as .wav data. Simply highlight the first two bars there and either lower the volume to nothing using the PianoRoll CC7 Audio, returning it to the correct level at the start of bar three (with mousedraws) or simply highlight and erase the countin data on the track.
