"Great songs forever dated (and
ruined) by Dave Stewart's ham-fisted way with a beat
box. I'd be great to
remix those tunes with a real kit, played by a real
drummer...."
 -then again, I heard "Is this Love" by Whitesnake
(1987) on the radio the other day and couldn't believe
how much reverb they'd put on the snare. It sounded so
crap, it was laughable. But back then it was OK, I
guess.
The problem with e-drums, as you point out, is that
they can date so easily. With an elctronic kit that
was near indistinguishable from a real kit - the sound
would never date.
Maybe the manufacturers aren't interested in building
an acoustic replacement - nobody would ever upgrade!
