Check out this great article on human drummers versus machines on Mic.com. I am biased of course but agree….. human drummers give subtle nuances that drum machines lack and can form permutations that are greatly complex yet natural sounding.
Science Shows Why Drum Machines Will Never Replace Live Drummers
“The live drummer is an endangered species in much of today’s popular music. Modern post-production makes it supremely easy to substitute programmed drums for an imperfect human performance, or even to buff out errors from a live take. Increasingly, a good drummer is simply an afterthought for producers.
But this trend is definitively misguided. Recent scientific studies show there are certain aspects of human-created rhythm that machines cannot replicate, or can only replicate poorly. These tiny imperfections are exactly what draw us to a real human drum player. Live drummers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.“
