Has the day of the electronic drums come and gone?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) February 8th, 2011

Being a drummer for many years, I shuttered at the thought of someone inventing electronic drums for recording purposes. It’s obvious, if you listen closely, that electronic drums are used on many past recordings. You hear just a straight beat and nothing else. Electronic drums can never give the personal touch of a living, breathing, real drummer on recordings. I, for one, hope that electronic drums have a mechanical breakdown and disappear forever.Question: what’s your opinion of electronic drums, used on recordings? Do you have examples? Agree or disagree?
