Some simple edits if you export your MIDI to a sequencer. (examples are in 4/4 time)

Copy only the snare drum notes, only on the 2s and 4s, paste to another track, and move it to the high timbale. Then reduce the volume and move it a couple of tics ahead of the snare.

It will sound like a rock drummer who hits the rim and head on the backbeats to add more 'crack' sound

0r

Take the snare (and timbale) and everything else on the 2s and 4s and put them a few tics behind the beat. This makes the lister subsconsciouly wait for them, and it emphasizes the backbeat. Mostly done for rock, funk and blues. In a jazz swing, it's not unusual to push the 2s and 4s ahead a bit.

These two edits can add a lot of life to your song, and you can't do that with real tracks or real drums.

Just a couple of the thousands of edits you can do with MIDI.
