If you plan on using the drum sounds you record, that's very true. If you intend on recording live but replacing the sounds in the box with something like Superior Drummer 3, then it's not as important.
A couple of weeks ago I did a last minute stand-in for a friend who works at a local studio. They just needed someone to come in for two hours to set up the Pro Tools session, man the computer, and let the guy on the console know if any levels were peaking. They were doing a video/recording of a reggae band. The session had about 20 tracks running through the board ...11 were the drum kit mics. The most tracks I've ever run in session is 4. I've never recorded live drums and really have no desire to wrestle that bear.
