So, I've got the tough problem of not liking the sound I get out of software drum machines. I'm trying to get a nice studio drum sound for rock music. Usually, with this type of set up, the drums sound way too fake and leave me cringing. I've tried a few different programs but haven't really found one I've liked. I just want to know if there are any other ways I can go about getting a better way out of drum software. I'm pretty much open for anything.

There is one technique which entails setting up a mic in front of the monitors and playing the midi track while simultaneously recording to a separate track. There are countless variables when using this technique such as mic choice, mic position, monitors, monitor volume, and the room itself, so play around with it and see if you like the results!
