CPU is a concern that is explored by u-he. As they state, it's not much if people cannot use it. pianoteq does just fine, so one could wonder - in general - what could be the difference between the physical modeling of piano and drums regarding CPU usage.
One piano model vs many drum models?

Personally, I would say that the difference in modelling a piano with keys where the inputs for any one key is known is a lot different that the number of sounds just one snare drum can make just by hitting it in a different place. This does not even include things like rim shots (again with various touch points for both skin and rim) or sidestick. MIDI describes a keyboard quite well, a drum not so much. I don't think there is even a controller that comes close to picking up the whole information of a drum performance... for even one drum, let alone a kit or percusion section. I suspect that really getting a drum performance in MIDI would require a model for each drum, that uses the note numbers as stick zones. So pianoteq times 8 or so.... and then no controller anyway. (one might get away with one drum engine for all toms... might) This is the reasona guitar synth sounds like a synth... a keyboard synth IMO.
pianoteq is a wonderful sounding instrument. If I was a piano player, or even had a piano controller (rather than a DX7), I would have it. It sounds way better than any sampled piano I have heard.
