It isn't even just for really obscure sounds - sometimes they have sampled sounds just because they require prominent reverb or delay or dramatic equalisation that just wouldn't be fun for the sound guy to have to go to and from quickly (or wouldn't sound good through the gear you might have to mic up the drums). With the right samples (some of the drum kits with reason are pretty good, or Drumkit from Hell is amazing too) you can get some pretty remarkable sounds. I'm looking to buy an electronic kit some time in the not too distant future. The space I have in lieu of a studio is far too reverb-y for me to ever get a decent sound out of an acoustic drum kit A couple of my favourite drummers to watch live, have either a regular acoustic kit + Octapad type electronic gear, or a monster hybrid kit, with bits that are from an electronic kit and bits that are from an acoustic kit.
