Yeh, I've done similar with those same basic redrum kits - rewired over to Cubase for some extra good processing with my tube saturation plugs/other FX - works a treat, I can tell you. Sometimes, I do think some are guilty of overlooking what they have before them or just plain haven't thought about how to maximise the potential of those that are to hand maybe ? I often use a fair few stock sounds from Reason as they sit in a track very well, although I do find, as said above, that I need to tweak and eq a bit more than I do with my Cubase plugs ( but then these are largely are plugs/virtuals that I have bought and not from within the standard Cubase set which aren't that great, put mildly ).
