Tl dr if you want to trigger drums, I would buy a drums VST. I'm not so sure you're getting great drums with Logic Pro as much as you're getting a great DAW with drums as an afterthought. In terms of value, you are probably right about Logic Pro, but I see it as a greater risk. It's not as simple as the right VST - but the way the samples play with the MIDI - the probability is just higher with EZD2. I'm not saying every EZX kit has a natural feeling either. I basically build up my grooves using a m.audio key station 49es (a very common device), but I’d like to try different assignment of the drum kit to the keyboard (for example tom displacement). I don't really launch AD2, BFD3 or SSD5 anymore, even though some of those drums are incredible to listen too, just not necessarily to trigger. I use to work with it in Logic pro X and sounds great. For me, only Toontrack seems to have that magic - at least available - for many of their kits. Once one removes all personal opinions on which VST sounds the best, one will always gravitate towards what feels the most natural in the drumsticks. I don't think it holds a candle to EZDrummer 2 tbh, but seriously after trying loads of different VSTs over the years, the most important bit hardly anybody talks about is how well they actually feel to play when triggering live. There could be a reason nobody is talking about Logic Drummer.
