I understand this question might be weird, but I thought pros use sources like splice or get packs online just like we do, or they might sometimes synthesize or record their own drum samples but I guess I just need some reassurance lol.
I've seen some breakdowns from producers like Ian kirkpatrick, cirkut, ellis, disclosure. They do seem to use packs. But I've also been to studios and I've had people convincing me that it isn't how they work. I understand some people are goat farmers (hope you get the reference). But what's wrong with samples? I'm not stacking oliver drums all over if that makes you feel better.
