Many artists are clueless f**king idiots. This is not news to me.Many artists don't use drum machines.
I knew this before I saw it. Yes, we're familiar with the type that uses sample packs... "artists"I use them, for drum parts. I don't load Crashes, Hits, and Voxes into drum machines.
We use a 'drum instrument'* with a 'library' where a 'crash' may offer bell, bow, edge, be struck with a stick, a mallet, brushes, hand, and then the instrument has a modeled swell setting, short, medium, long, "hihat splosh", washy ride, "very subtle ride" for cymbals. The hihat has tip, shank, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 of each, pedaled splash etc. Were we talking "flexible", here? "drum parts", sure.
(*: I don't know if we call BFD (or Battery or fill-in-the-blanks) a drum machine but I'm fine with the term.)
