A Nashville writer was telling me a few weeks ago , the producer had a real drummer do the part , then used a machine to copy it , for whatever reason I forget

Because as far as software has advanced, there are still nuances of a real player that can never be emulated. Real players don't play in perfect time. Machines do

When playing real instruments over a drum machine there is a subtle disconnect that may not be explainable.

It also saves hours of programming time if a real guy can just come in and in one take it's done

Plus a real drummer knows drums better than a producer does. But they can certainly get good results with a drum machine.

Depends on the genre and what type of authenticity you need
