Oh, I see. You could never get a drummer to reproduce the right cymbal parts on demand...unless he was Dave Grohl, tracking the cymbals seperately from a complete drums-only track to eliminate them bleeding into the other mics. In this case, he had to have each cymbal accent placed according to his pre-determined plan, or the finished track wouldn't make sense. Obviously it isn't usually orchestrated to this degree.
Also, you can also mic each component of you drumset and record each one on a separate track as you play the same part on top of itself several times over, and then go back and listen to see if your groove makes sense, i.e. did you groove with yourself?
But, Joe Schmoe on the Today Show, no, that's not happening.
