oh definitely. i guess there's uses out there that I just wouldn't normally think about in a general live setting.

For rock - Acoustic, totally.
For electronic - Electric.

I prefer playing the acoustic overall.

well FWIW, when you're starting out you use what you can afford to use until you can afford to buy something better.

i also took that into consideration, we'll use that for now, but if we actually get a band put together and start getting reasonably good, we'll go for the Acoustic's. but im not the drummer, hopefully my friend's friend who's a drummer already owns an acoustic set.

I like Acoustic drums a whole lot better. They don't make that cheap electric sound. Not only that, you don't have plug in anything just to make sure that the drum sound is heard. I can't wait to get another set. I might get a Tama set.

Neil Peart uses a hybrid setup, and does it very effectively.

I'll probably get another set once I have the money. I really like the Pearl 4 piece sets with Zildjian K series cymbals, a set up chimes, woodblock and/or cowbell, and a hi-hat tamborine.

I thought this was interesting:

Looks like the feel of acoustic drums(not cymbals) but the advantage of electric drums.

He does... and I already mentioned Def Leppard ... they have their uses... Generally when I see a hybrid set it has real cymbals and an acoustic bass, snare, and floor tom, but the rest of the toms are electric.
