It would be nice if they gave a few single drum hits, wouldn't it? Especially cymbals.

I have a sample library I turn to. Easy to paste single samples in any order in RB.
Lots of decent free ones out there.
Tom Hicks is a well known free sample library of drums.

With some creative EQ/reverb you can often fake them in to fit after assembling.
Your method of playing it via midi and then converting is good too, especially if you have a few soundsources or different drumsets to try.

There are a few different drumsets inside the VSC. Dunno if most people know or use them.
Try a few patch changes on channel 10 in the VSC to find them.
