True, true. I've done it a couple times and it is incredible hard unless your drummer is up for the task.

Yes Sound replacer is the "famous" program but I tend to be pretty old school as sampling new sounds can be nowadays. But I'll either go in by hand and work with a drum sample. I usually get somwhere between 10-15 hard hits, 10-15 medium etc. and move from there. My partner hates it because he says he can't tell a difference but I can especially when I'm just mixing it in with an existing hit. I'll usually compress the crap out of the sample and leave the other kit un-eq'd and un-comped for some air and space and let the samples deliver the clean punch. I think reinforces the realism. Also if I'm working in a small room I'll feed the samples through a PA and mic that and mix it for clean natural verb.

I hope I'm helping you out a bit.
