I've had to record with electronic drums, and even when editing and layering my own samples, I can only get sounds that are OK. NCdan wrote: So what's your opinion on Drum Samples? And I did mention that I edit and layer my own samples, so I'm well aware that samples can sound fantastic, but do they sound realistic, not to my ears. I'm tired of hearing drum samples just like I'm tired of hearing bands with one or two guitars record a track with 6 different guitar parts going at once. There are some genres that essentially revolve around samples, like metal and techno, where real drums don't have enough oomph and don't have "that sound." However, I'm tired of hearing ultra-polished, unrealistic drum sound: they just don't sound real. Drummers can certainly hear the difference, and I'm sure recording engineers can as well. The average person can't tell if a song used expertly done drum samples or real drums, but I'm talking as a drummer and home recording hobbyist.

Learning how to program drums is an art in itself.
The guys that know how, don't talk about it. This is where statements like this come from. Most people do not know how to do it well, or want to learn how, or have the time to do it in the first place. If you know the secrets, you won't make this statement. It also takes good sequencers and samples to make it happen. It takes years of programming experience, including the gift to take any type of music programming to that level. You simply don't notice them sounding fake. If you want to sound modern, top forty, R&B and so many more styles, definitely someone who knows how to program drums, will not sound fake if they don't want to.
If you want to sound unrefined and organic, yes, a real drum track is the easiest way to sound real. It really depends on what type of music and what you are trying to accomplish. If you think it can't be done, you are exactly correct. Hmm, this is vary subjective, I definitely do not agree with this at all.
