This band I'm in wants to use programmed drums on computer to record, mainly because of the cost of getting a recording studio for a few days, and they've done everything else without needing a recording studio.
This is very upsetting because it would be my first chance to play on record, and makes me disappointed we live in a time where you basically don't even need a drummer.
If this was just some years ago, we would have no choice but to record my drums, now its just easier + cheaper to do it on a laptop.
I know programmed drums might not sound quite the same, but clearly most people don't actually care/ won't even notice.
So how could I convince them, and are they right anyway? What's the point in using a drummer (other than for live)?
