You could sample all the best drum kits in the world then give them to someone who knows nothing about programming styles and see what happens,

I couldn't agree with that more. It goes for any VST, Giga, or whatever. If the person recording the demo has a complete disregard for "dynamics" and has no understanding of how "quantizing" can sometimes be an enemy to what you're recording, then the demo will be of poor quality.

I love the concept of the MS... I really do, but man that drum demo really left a sour taste in my mouth. I saw some good demos of the main guy who is always demoing the unit. I think what he's doing sounds good and very promising.... Personally I just don't see what the hold up is for good demos. They don't even have to be videos..., just audio demos.

Hell I've got the equipment to post CD quality Demos of my keyboard, and the multi-track digital unit to do this cost me only $250!
