abacus
i kinda agree with you about proper drum samples, BUT
you will still be missing that human feel, that human swing, that REAL human performance, that human "imperfection" that makes it sound so REAL
And, you will be missing the drums overpowering every instrument in the band, the guy at the mixing board going nuts trying to balance the sounds between the drums and other instruments and the vocalist. Yep - you'll be missing all of that. And I for one, am damned glad that "human imperfection" is no longer a problem.
Good Luck,
Gary
