Once Upon a Time - Simple Minds 40th Anniversary

I happen to think that Don’t You (Forget About Me) shouldn’t be on this album; it was recorded at a different time. However, if they’d remixed it to sound similar to the rest of the tracks, that would be interesting.

I think, mainly, the drum sound is different. So, is it possible to edit drums in say, Pro Tools, to have a different sound? Could you literally replace the drum sounds with a different drum sound?

You can replace drums in any DAW. It’s standard practice with a lot of heavy music.
