Disbelievers usually form their opinions and compare midi drums to hip hop lol. It seems old school drummers and engineers would rather continue to struggle trying to get big drums the old school way which is an impossible struggle in my opinion as there is nothing bigger sounding than drum samples combined with real in my opinion. Unfortunately ( disbelievers) despise the concept as they think its cheating and disbelieve midi drums could ever sound real.

Hey Paul, its a pleasure discussing drum programming as its my favourite topic in pro audio and live music.
