I'll take a good drummer in a good room with three well placed mic's any day.

That looks good on paper but the amount of options you have with that limited number of mics is quite low. I'd much rather have a kit mic'd with 12 mics in a nice room, at least I'll be able to pick and choose a bit more. Plus, samples aren't a bad thing, nor are they cheating. There is no cheating in this game, its all about getting things to sound good. Most commercial releases have drum samples. Its all about mixing them in tastefully.
