Nigel is right...nothing wrong with playing along with recordings to learn. It's just that, for drummers, particularly, there eventually needs to be a transition to a more active role of setting time, tempo changes, etc.

And, I don't know about Diki, but ANY mention of karaoke, and seeing people play along with tracks, calling it "live" music kind of makes be shiver all over.
