I can't speak for David but I can see a few reasons for using a MIDI transcription over real drums. One you can choose a different drum kit or kits; many times I will use one kit for the drums and another for cymbals and in fact I have used some drums from a couple of kits.

Two it is easy to change drums on a MIDI drum kit. For instance changing a low tom to a mid tom or a snare.

Three it is easier to change the drum pattern in MIDI. You can add fills of any length anywhere on the drum track.

Four changing the volume of each individual drum or cymbal.

There are probably more but this is what I came up with on the spot.

I hope I explained myself clearly.
