I feel that ultimately its not necessarily about how great you are but how interesting. Meg White is not a great drummer but she's part of an interesting musical concept which is enjoyed by many.

I feel that too much emphasis is put onto people "faking" music so to speak regarding samples and loops. If what you're doing is being enjoyed by many then good for you.

There will always be a place for live drummers as they can be interesting to watch by many and attract the attention of the audience in different ways to electronic acts. I've seen some drummers in my time that were completely boring, not very good and let the band down probably more than zoom rythm player would have.
