Here is a little patch which will point you to some basics when creating retro synth drums.
The patch contains 4 kits which can be used alone or mixed.
All guidelines are found within the patch and i have included a MIDI file
to help you get started right away. Its a great start to come up with various percusive things and you can run tons of instances because its very CPU friendly.
Give it a go:

Have fun and have a nice summer

EDIT: Here is an audio example where first 8 bars use the default patch with the Comp1 on, next 8 bars i changed tuning, turned on reverb and comp1 and last 8 bars is seperate instances for each sound source so i could use the comp/rev/eq for the individual sounds:

Always a pleasure to listen and learn from your patches. Can't wait to get home from work & try these out. Thanks in advance!
This reminds me, i'm getting my Visa card next week, so i'll finally be able to buy your and Howard's soundbanks

Updated initial post with an audio example. Ideas for other things you should try messin with are the OSC FX Fundament on/off and OSC Sync.
So its all about Tuning, Envelope, Fundament and Sync, play around with these things and you will find lots of retro style percusive.
