Drums are particularly difficult to get right, especially if you are not using an studio engineer. One solution is to use a refill software package such as Drumagog. You record your drums with each drum and cymbal tracked separately, then you run it through Drumagog which triggers professional mixed and engineered samples at various velocities depending on the frequencies of the various hits. A lot of bands and engineers use this type of software even on one drum in the mix if not on the whole kit. Great solution if you don't have expensive mics, preamps, compressors and plugs and even better if you have a drummer and are no good at programming midi (more direct alternative to DFHS). Could be worth the investment...
