That's the #1 thing I hear talked about regarding drum vsts but isn't it just a matter of how you mix them and create the beats? Even real drums would sound fake if not recorded properly and without properly incorporating them into a song. Imo drums are one of the only instruments that can fully be faked for that reason

Edit: You guys in the comments are debating and downvoting me and then saying exactly what I'm trying to get at 😭

Ill reword a bit, drum vsts are recorded samples of actual drums and if you record them yourself with a real kit you'd be getting similar results (someone mentioned microvariations which makes sense and I can see that being a factor). you can mix real drums to sound fake and a lot of songs are like that, you can also mix fake drums to sound real and a lot of songs are like that too. I'm not trying to argue with anyone my point is what you guys are saying
