It's not that the drums are recorded in a studio but the quality of the recording and the skill of the engineer to capture that sound. If you don't have those ducks in a row, having 'real' studio drums is only to say you have real studio drums.

Because I have no other option, I can't do studio drums. I use EZDrummer from Toontrack. Great production quality but you get what you get...a decent selection of beats.

However, I find that I can take those provided beats and 'adjust' to what I have in mind. Since I am not looking to program Neal Peart (Rush), I can do that. I have reasonably simple, if specific rhythmic needs.

For me, EZDrummer works very well. I have a number of the expansion packs to get different production values.

So, if you have a specific rhythmic need, a studio set up might be best. Keeping it simple, virtual instruments with good production is a great way to go.
