The best (worst?) example of this in the Queen catalogue is the Live At The Bowl release.
I can't listen to it because all I hear is Pro Tools on Roger's snare.
It's there on the Rainbow and Hammersmith releases as well, but to a much lesser extent.
Montreal, Wembley and Budapest sound the most natural.

It's automatic replacing of the real drums sound with a pre-recorded studio sample. Google is your friend.

What Oscar J said. My brother plays drums in a grindcore band and he triggers his bass drums. With that kind of fast and chaotic music the bass drums often sound muffled, so when he's playing real fast double bass drum patterns you can actully hear what he's playing with triggering. The bass drum sound is naturally quite bulky and low so triggering kind of makes them sound more sharp and audible amidst the chaos.

Cheers. So it's just dropping in drum samples into a recording. 'Triggering' sounds more like it's in a live situation. Believe it or not, I'm pretty handy with ProTools but have never heard that term in a recording environment.

Most drummers who use triggers in the studio do also so live. I'm not an expert how that happens, probably similarly as in the studio.

This trick even goes back to the analog days. Queen even used it on BoRhap. The snare in the rock section is stitched in - it's a combination of the live kit and a sample. Look at the 24-track master - there's a whole track with the exact same snare hit throughout.

Yup. Same with IILWMC. Doesn't sound that good there, makes the snare sound a little weak.
