It would work well, IMHO. Al Goff of GOFF Professional, whose opinions
on all things Hammond I highly respect, toyed with the idea of building
and selling a similar product a few years back -- he was going to design
his own drum simulator -- but I don't think he ever went past the
thought stage. The secret to the Leslie sound lies in the horn.

Best regards,
