Mostly for ROCK music, when limiting you are changin your balance btw the mix.. when clipping, your balance doest not change and your drums doesnt lose punch.

However, the better clipping happens when your mix has a good frecuency balance (lets say, u dont have 6 db+ at 60 hz and 10 db at 5 hz )

Just try to put a L2 on your mix and see how all the transients go away
