If you have access to good drummers, I think that is a good
way, especially if you want it to sound human. My playing
sounded a little _too_ human. :)  Also I do a lot of very
drum-intensive electronic stuff, and since I'm no Dave Weckl,
I can't pull off physically what I hear in my head, even
at half-tempo.

One thing you might think about is using real miked-up hihat 
and cymbals, I think that would really make the whole set
sound more alive (and feel better too I guess).
