Some of the older MIDI styles I use have specific drum parts in them that match the style well. So I may elect to use those instead. Don't overlook the MIDI "Live Drums" styles too, where a live drummer played a MIDI set for the recording and making of the target styles. For jazz work, I greatly prefer the RealDrums, though.

MIDI drums and a great MIDI synth still have a place in this world, too.

Use what you like. Use what works for each instance.

Mac: after reading this, I went to the 2007 manual and did a word search on 'live drums'. Everything that came up was about m a k i n g styles and patterns.
Do the styles you're referring to have a naming convention, so you can pick them out ? Or is finding them just serendipity ?
