There are 2 types of drums.

Midi Drums. Edit, customize, use hardware synths, and software synths.

All the latest version use real drummers, some very good drummers, award winning ones, who've laid down their tracks, don't drift and are pros.

Use one, or both, fade, bring in bring out....

If you want real custom drums you hire a pro drummer, and a studio.

I was at a Wynton Marsalis concert recently with the Jazz at the Lincoln centre orchestra. The drummer used charts for every song. A properly trained, real pro drummer can play what you want.

Music is about putting out a sound that people want to hear. No one remembers beat for beat the intro to Puff the Magic Dragon.
