drum track - midi or sampler?

[Leeking]

hey guys,

I am still pretty new in recording.
In my first demo, I used Session drummer in CW9 to lay out my drum tracks which is midi and getting the sound through my JV1010. It sounded pretty good, but I am looking into possiblities for greater sound. Besides, I find using Sessiondrummer a little troublesome especially when adding drum rolls here and there.

I have search the forums and people have been saying drum sampler is the way to go, namely Fruity loops.

I notice that using drum samplers, you'll have to create the drum part using the samplers and exports it as wav file into CW9. am I right so far?

My question is:
what I like about using midi as drum track is that you can change the drum tempo and patterns whenever you like in the recording phase.
with a wav file from the sampler, you are pretty much stuck with the drum track you have?

is this the case, or these's a way to work around it?

thank you for reading....

There is one workaround that can work. There are software that can split the beat sample into parts. For example ReCycle (http://www.propellerheads.se/) .

With this you then can change the tempo.
