I’m looking to use GP4 in a live setup with acoustic Drums. I have experimented at home with the soundcraft mtk22 and have remarkable results, especially with triggers. I have some backspaces if anyone is interested . But I want to use it in a live setting at church and am wondering can I expect great results with even using drum samples? Any helpful information would be appreciated 
Help me, do you trigger drum samples from an acoustic drum set?
Clearly you can use MIDI triggers but all the drummers that I know who integrate drum samples into their performances tend to use drum pads like the Roland Octopad to trigger samples.
That said, GP doesn’t care whether you’re using MIDI triggers or an Octopad 
That said, a significant benefit of using a host like Gig Performer is so that you can mix and match drum samples from different plugins as well as changing them on the fly.

Yes I use acoustic drums , I was wanting to see if I could use slate trigger 2 through GP instead of using a midi trigger pad . The trigger 2 works great at home but me concern is the latency doing this in a live setting
I am using the Roland TM-2 Trigger Module with triggers mounted on kick and snare.
Then I connect the MIDI out of the Roland to my Mac via my RME UFX II interface to trigger EZDrummer.
In gig Performer I have a buffer size of 128 samples, which is less than 2ms latency.
Sorry but why would the latency be any different in your live setting than at home?
Sometimes my electronics get nervous and don’t work as well in front of large audiences as they do in rehearsal.
At least that’s what I tell myself.

Place it in a way it can’t see the audience

Because it has to go to a mixer and then back to a stage box. That’s why I was asking if anyone has had experience with this . At home it just goes into my computer interface then into my headphones
This has worked for me in the past with certain guitar amp modelers and GP…placed behind a band stand
or backwards
Are your drums miked? If so, then you’re already dealing with a latency issue, i.e. because people can hear them directly as well as via FOH and every foot further away from those drums will add 1ms more latency.
Also, unless the room is acoustically dead, you’re going to have a bit of reverb/echo with which to contend. In other words, it seems to me that this is not worth worrying about.
I’ve used Steven Slate SSD5 for live drums with an electronic kit.
Trigger 2, however, is a drum replacement plugin, meant for post-processing a recorded acoustic drum set. I’ve never thought of using it in a live context for fear the latency. I guess you have your drum mic signals go directly to your soundcard which splits them off to FOH accompanied by the replaced samples on a separate set of outputs? Does such a setup work with acceptable latency when you try that out at home?
