I'm completely untalented for drumming, I'm not kidding or sarcastic.
My guitar playing is also within 10ms and sometimes much more worse, but
for syncopation e.g. this human 'jitter' tends to be always to early,
seldom to be to late, it's different for a machine. Also recording at
first the hi hat, then the snare, then the kick, one after the other
causes different timing for all those instruments, while a drummer is
playing all instruments at the same pass. You cant compare this!
Reflect!
