I don't want a song with tempo/style changes, but something like a metronome mode with real drums, that is easy to set up - without the hassle of dealing with a lead sheet and lots of settings... ...and way cheaper than hiring a drummer

It's meant for practicing purposes, where I want to train chord progressions, a certrain song, improvisation, whatever, but only need drums. When I get into trouble, only a few clicks should be necessary to alter the tempo and let me continue training at slower speed.



Seriously, BiaB already does this.

Open BiaB. The default lead sheet is simply a C chord and a repeat after 32 bars. Set BiaB to repeat the chorus as many times as you want, 20 should be good but it goes up to 40. Solo the drums track (or mute all the others). Now select your RealDrums into the drums track. Press play to generate the drums and start playing.

To change the tempo on the fly just adjust the tempo spin button. The tempo change isn't infinite, there are limits to how much you can change RD without nasty sound effects but there is sufficient room to practice.
