For me it's faster to record and edit real drums than it is trying to make a virtual kit sound good. I have a sound in my head and no drum program comes close to what I want to hear. SD2 sounds VERY good and quite real, but I struggle mixing it because it's not what I want to hear, or how I imagine a kit sitting in a mix.
I am not saying that my drum sounds are the most amazing thing in the world (although I really like them), but a great recording requires a sonic vision from the start of the process. Each song needs individual attention.
That is why I record real drums.
