Heya Richard; concepts in drum programming have progressed by leaps and
bounds since OS9 was discontinued. After multi-layered samples (so
different velocities triggered different samples) proved insufficient
for realism, the hippest drum sequencing plugins moved to techniques
like "alternate strokes" where even two consecutive snares at the same
velocity trigger different R hand and L hand samples, and multiple
samples for each stroke so you can "mix" your drums for more "room" or
capture bleed from one in the mics of the others.
Drum programs also started to add sequencer components with included
performance libraries of MIDI patterns. Most of the stuff requires a
reasonably fast computer and OSX. Things that might interest you would
include:
FXPansion's BFD http://www.fxpansion.com/index.php?page=1
XLNAudio's "Addictive Drums" http://www.xlnaudio.com/
For percussion, Wizoo's "Latigo", a killer Latin percussion sequencer
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun05/articles/wizoo.htm
It might be worth your while to consider booting into OSX to do your
drum programming in order to take advantage of the possibilities these
packages offer, many of them undreamed-of in the days of OS9 - and for
what a single drum sample CD used to cost.
