BIAB now supports VSTs so if you have a drum add-on program like Jamstix etc., you can do this. BIAB also supports loops, so if you have a drum loop collection, you can do this.

Even though I use RealDrums, I also export the MIDI drum track so I can edit most of the drum kit out and leave things like bongo or triangle. You can pretty easily step-edit to add a kick drum sound with your mouse.

A more challenging approach would be to write your own RealDrum pattern to extract only the part of the kit you want, assuming you can find a suitable sound. There are instructions on the site how to do this.

And of course, there is one audio track in BIAB if you want to record your own drum track, either from live playing or the output of a drum machine.

There may be other possibilities. Anyone?
