I know what you mean, folk are always telling me quit banging on the table, chairs tin cans, anything.
The thing I find most satisfying about a real kit is the skill involved in getting things like rimshots without smashing sticks, real hihat timing, true power sensitivity and of course the main thing, the satisfaction of beating seven colors of s**t out of something and making a great noise.
These electronic dealies that give you full power from a little tap are just not as satisfying!
The noise each part of the drum head makes or the variation in tone from different parts of a cymbal make it all worthwhile for me.
Of course, having neighbours several hundred feet away does help

Still a dedicated acoustic kit dude.
