you "must" (sorry talking so general) use the original bassdrumsound because you want get a triggersound witch is exactly fitting in the mix (because of the roomambience). For the last project I used only trigger and the result was ok, but the bassdrum doesn't fit in the whole drummix.

You should go for a little originalbassdrum and add trigger. if you use the trigger, because the drummer could'nt play the doublebass in time than use only trigger and deal with the ambience in the vst (I use Fxpansion and battery 2).

Try a multicomp on the bassdrum or the trigger.. gets much fatter and you can add topend to the kick.
