I just can't imagine anyone stepping through whole drum patterns these days really.
most of the producers they feature on the Computer Music Masterclasses (they are all on Youtube - pretty good really) seem to use audio samples pasted on audio tracks. Types of music I have seen it used for is Trance and DnB.

I can see what you mean about recording the drums Live, that is a very interesting approach. I think it is way better to do it that way for some types of electronic music. I wish I had the dexterity to do that.

In the end (to me at least) it is all about achieving that syncopated groove that makes you want to shake your ass whatever way you go about it.
