abletonyou can buy sampled drums galore from assorted retailers online. if you program your own beats with these higher end DAWs you can duplicate your patterns and layer your drum sounds. These DAWs also offer midi pressure variations if you aren't using a velocity sensitive controllers for programming to add that sense of realism.
Also, I've been informed from a live drummer to build a stereoscopic representation of your drum kit when programming. Using the above mentioned duplicated patterns you could set cymbals/high hats 50-66% left and right accordingly, set snares and toms 25-33% left and right accordingly with your bass.kicks left centered. This way during midi playback it will have the feel the drummer experiences being surrounded by sound instead of confronted and blasted directly from the front from a flat centered sound.
