You shouldn't really have any problems especially as you don't have a drummer and will be using the MIDI drums as your timekeeper.

My band actually does this for for two songs we play that have a lot of machine like pulsing electronic dance synth parts ( Hella Good ( Gwen Stefani ) and Get This Party Started ( Pink ). We actually have a live drummer so the only tricky thing for us is to make sure they have a click track that he can use to follow or else it would all fall apart. We simply have a strong steady hi hat track that plays through. The audience don't notice it mixed in with the drums but the drummer can hear it clearly.

Because you don't have a drummer is should be very easy for you guys just to play along with the sequences. The only thing would be if there were long gaps with no drums or instrument to provide a count that would make it difficult to rejoin the sequence dead on time when it starts back up. In those cases I would recommend putting in a least some sort of hi hat or percussive track to provide a count. It wouldn't have to be obvious but just enough to keep you guys in time with the sequence and the audience really wouldn't care.
