The Industry Standard For Midi Drums

Is there an industry standard VST for acoustic and electric Midi Drums/Percussion ?
The bundled VST Percussion instruments that came with Cubase 7.5 are alright but I cant help but feel like they don't sound all that great. The majority of major label records released these days are using midi drums but they sound great.
So how are they doing it?

Slate Platinum Drums Review ( Early Impressions)

I picked up Slate's Platinum 4.0 Drums Collection late last week; I've only had a few days to work with it, so these are early impressions. So far, I am pleased with the program all the way around. Further and more intensive use may bring certain weak points to the surface, I can't say as of this writing, but my initial impressions are positive.

Best way to quantise multitrack acoustic drums recordings

Hi Guys,
I'm kind of stuck with the new Audiosnap 2.0 of Sonar X3
It is suppose to allow to group the audio tracks transients so that the quantising stay phase coherent but I can't figure out the steps to achive that.

What's your better tool for quantising multitracks. (without manually move transients)

Mic placement on a Cocktail set kick drum?

I have a cocktail drum kit, with a tall, 15" barrel drum that stands upright and serves both as the kick and the floor tom. It has small air holes, but no mic port. The kit sounds great, and I can get a solid one-mic recording from it without problems. But I need to do some multi-mic setups, and wanted some informed opinions about recording the kick.
