I actually played a live set like this once and I can
tell you: You're right! You can get confused and bring
in the wrong pattern, and it actually happenned to me
once during the set (lucky for me it was on a last bar
of the 16 and it sounded as if I'd crossfaded, so not
too bad). Your idea of the endless loops sounds great!
The other problem I had was volumes from one kit to
the next (since the freaking MD has no meters). So
keep it in mind if your changing from one loop to the
next with the mixer up.
