Yeah, well said, it's impossible to cover all the bases and as Karbo hints, midi will never replace a real player, whether it's durms, bass, piano, guitar, whatever.
However, I will say I use midi all the time, for basically everything. Piano, electric piano, B3 organ, bass, strings, drums, horns, acoustic guitar rythm, etc..
So far I don't think they've come up with any good synthesized drums that sound nearly as good as acoustic drum samples, not like they have other instruments. There are a lot of synthesized drums sounds but they are just that, and might sound good in their own way, but don't sound like real drums at all.
Heh heh, maybe you'll get a kick out of a couple of little videos I reprogrammed, I took the videos off of the net and reprogrammed them with SMDrums.
