That has nothing to do with todays production they did not have 200 track systems back then.
I just finished a project for a label I did not take any chances.
-2 days for set up and 23 mics for the drums I want options and not paint myself in corner. It's far too much work to get the drummer in the redo something.
When you do that and combine it with a good drummer the need for using samples goes away.
