Paul Ortiz aka Chimpspanner has posted a video (progressive metal) in the Made with Cubase forum.
Check it out. Absolutely amazing. Paul used to post his tunes for critique here a number of years ago,
until he realized that we were screwing up his mixes. 
He actually plays/records the drums on a keyboard in realtime with his fingers!
Nice to see one of our own out making it in the real world!
Go Chimpspanner!
Woot!
Ahem, and wot’s wrong with that? You mean there is some other way?
I’ve always done it this way too - except when I cheat and use Jamstix, but most musicians can spot Jamstix from a country mile away, so I rarely use it these days and when I do, I export all the sounds individually and compress, gate and EQ the crap out of them so people can’t tell that Jamstix stock drum sound I mostly use Steven Slate Drums these days played off my midi controller in real time.
I sometimes have to go back in to the MIDI editor and fine tune a few things, but stay away from quantizing.
For my electronic projects though I use drum racks in Ableton Live, and use a combination of step entry and real time programming and sometimes do go for a 1/16 quantize. For this I tend to use the drum machines samples which come with Live Suite, such as the 808, 909, Linn etc samples.
I never knew Chimpspanner (excellent moniker), so will try and take a listen/watch the vid etc.
I don’t mean ‘build’ a drumtrack on keys, I mean he plays the whole bloody kit in one go,
and he’s amazing at it.
Here’s a demo of him, and this is one of his simpler performances:
