The Abbey Road drums series seems to be among the best stuff you can get in sampled drums . They have different sample sets for 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's (?)drums.

Probably costs a bit.

You need to use velocity layered samples to replicate the nuances and timbres available from a 'real kit' and try to imitate the natural rubato from a human player (This is very hard but software like SONAR comes with 'groove quantise' templates which will give your drum tracks a much more unquantised human feel. Good drummers will speed up very subtly and naturally before choruses and climactic points in the music and the whole band will follow them. That's how music 'breathes' innit?

This is the tricky part.

It's more reliable than a real drummer and it doesn't have to try to grasp odd time signatures. 

Real drummers are much better if you can find one good enough. 
New album!

Hello, I have some EZ Drummer kits if you want, but that's all I can provide.
If  you give me the midi, maybe I can work something out...

I'm thinking if a drummer is near you, he or she shouldn't be that hard to find. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

CUBASE and by the way I'm a drummer but I don't see how I could send the records after...the best if you want real drums is to find a drummer near you.
