So far, no one has come up to me after a gig and said "Dude, the velocity sample on that snare drum didn't cut it." (whatever that means). Actually, I'm trying out drummers to see if a duo approach works, maybe even a guitar.
Hi Derf, like DonM said, welcome to the SZ family here.
I've found that merely adding ONE additional LIVE band member onstage: aka duo (ie: female vocalist, horn player, or) typically generates better audience response & acceptance of our arranger keyboard act as a legitimate 'real band' act 'ten-fold', and frequently brings in more than the double $ than if kept a single act. I believe the musical interaction that takes place between musician's onstage is a crucial ingredient to creating the kind of musical energy audiences appreciate and have grown to expect.
