That way your tracks aren't locked into being over compressed. The drummer should focus on playing consistent volumes in most pop music. You can replace all the sounds with V-Drums and Pro Tools. Best to have awesome drums without Pro Tools. It's worth it.
Record producers can hear a showoff a mile away.
They can also hear a great groove a mile away, and that will get you farther in the long run. Forget impressing other drummers. This is the most challenging instrument to get right, next to acoustic piano. I get more low end problems in the mastering studio than anything. Use wide bandwidth.
