Technically speaking, this is correct.
There's a loophole, however: The band gives the guy who owns and used the loop a songwriting "credit." It doesn't have to be a piece of the $$, just his name listed on the liner notes.

It might actually cost less than a sample CD to book a room, and that is certainly an option.
But it doesn't take into account a few things. It's not always practical on the fly. And that one kit in that one room will not satisfy the needs of every song one produces.
One of the things I personally like about having a large sample library of drum hits is the sheer variety of sounds, ambiences and velocities I can match to the vibe of the various songs I produce. Not just trap drum kit hits either, but all sorts of percussive sounds or loops that can be buried in a mix to enhance the overall texture of a track.
