I usually hate using triggers on kick drum but this one has helped me out when i need a consistant "click"
nice. I'd never thought to grab that hit.

I'd use both trigger and mic, if you can... blending the 2 will give you a consistent sound without sounding too unnatural.

One thing I like to do is actually sample the drummer's kick & snare (but, take some time to get a good sample.. i.e. tune the drums well), and then use them as the triggered samples... then, you'll have less of a problem sounding weird.
