As soon as a drum set is totally mic'd - I prefer an electronic kit. The sounds are more easily controlled, and the tone is so much better. That is not the case if the acoustic tone can be heard, however. I have a drummer that I take out with a sax man, and we play so quiet that the clicking of the sax's keys are heard sometimes !
I also have a full digital drum set in my studio, and every time a drummer plays them ... they get spoiled. They really are an asset.
