Drum Machines only go "PA PA PA PA" if you tell them to. Most electronic instruments (let's call it that) also have for example velocity, volume and other options and ways to play them. It just depends on the artist to utilize these in a natural or creative way. Saying Machine Drums aren't able to generate variation in sound, volume and velocity is just wrong. It's the artist who's not able to do that in such a case.

True that, yet the PA PA PA is to mean the total inflexibility of the sound you come to hear, it's totally un-natural if you get what I mean.

I bet you'd be surprised if you knew how many of the studio versions for rock and metal bands actually weren't completely recorded, but produced and sampled using DAWs, synths and software Drum Kits.

A lot of mainstream bands to that, I guess that's the typical case of "industrial production" in music, but there are several guys (not only from the "hardest" scenes) who don't do that, they actually play and watching them live is really something, you can definitely tell that guy is a good musician when you hear the same thing both in lives and studio version, and some people are even better in live performances.
