I don't think most people would ever say "Great song except the drums don't sound real... aw, fug it then... it stinks"
If that were true, Def Leppard would have been emptying your dustbin years ago.
It all depends on what your doing.
There seems to be a need to categorize things as 'good' or 'bad' but they're all tools.
I'm a big fan of a great drummer on a great sounding kit, but I also like the snare sound on 'Word Up'.
Aphex Twin uses all kinds of sounds for percussion.
I understand that the original question is whether or not you can make sampled drums sound like they're real. But making them do so is like trying to hit a moving target. The shark in Jaws scared lots of people back in the '70's, but it's laughable now.
