Hi TC,
I do a lot of "drum programming" in my sequencer of choice "FL Studio" and the first thing I'm noticing is that you are still doing the kick yourself? That seems like a bad choice, since it's the kick you would want to be most accurate?
It's hard to think like a drummer when you aren't, but you are basically thinking about patterns that last 4, 8, or 16 bars, and fills that announce section changes.
Your two most important tools in your drum sequencer toolbox is "quantize" and "humanize." You want to quantize at some high percent (70-90%) when your pattern is too loose, and you want to humanize the time mapping when the drumming feels too robotic.
Also remember that drummers have two hands, and so if your patterns are too busy they tend to sound less realistic and destroy the illusion.
Mike
