I saw this Vic Firth feature (ata) once, di ko kilala yung drummer, but he plays with a click track. Naka-playlist na yung mga clicks sa laptop nya, tapos kung may time sig change naka program na rin. Pop band ata yung tinutugtugan nya nun. IEM feed pati yung audio, so rinig mo talaga na yung drumming nya sinasabay sa click. As a result sobrang tight nung performance nung band.
I guess it's good for a couple of things. First, I think it will work well with pop tunes. Pop tunes can only sound better the tighter and more record-like it goes. Super helpful din kung may time-based effects tulad ng delay, para hindi bigla mawawala yung delay effect or yung drummer; or kung may samples/tracks involved, a la UDD.
For rock, personally, di na kailangan ng click, for practice lang. A too-sterile timing really sucks to listen to live, and honestly I tried that before, the timing goes out the window and i just shut it off

Nakaka-steal ng feel pag live kasi yung isip mo partly naktuon sa click kaysa sa bandmates. Pero sa practice talagang ok sya, at siguro kung lagi kayo ganun magpractice, either magiging hiyang kayo sa click at di nyo na mapapansin, or di nyo na kakailanganin.
I remember the early live records of Dave Matthews Band, sobrang sabog yung timing ni Carter Beauford sa live. So practice and performances with clicks isn't always a bad thing
