When possible I always go to tape first with the drums.

Going straight to digital is fine if you have to

If you ever ask an engineer to go to tape first and he pulls out ADATs (does anyone still USE this??? if they do... i'd be shocked) but if they pull out ADATs, ask for your session money back and kindly leave.

another trick that meets halfway for the budget savvy is to send the a sub-mix of the drums through a standard cassette deck and route the signal back into the board... this works for anything by the way. For some reason the pre-amp in a standard cassette deck has a really interesting sound that colors the drums in a nice way.

I don't own any ADATs but I've used them and I think they sound great! Definitely better than DA88s. I'd just be a little concerned about the transport system on the ADAT machines (especially older ones) but I know of a few guys who use them with no problems whatsoever.

I just think they sound really bad with drums.
I think they sound bad in general... you don't get the convenience of digital and you don't get the sound of analog... so it's a lose/lose situation. Plus, i've seen more studio time wasted waiting for the second machine to catch up with the first one.
