I was using Addictive Drums for years but I switched completely to FL Studio's FPC in recent months and I built dozens of custom drum kits by combining different parts of different kits.
Practically, FPC works just like Addictive Drums (and other similar drums based VSTi's) because you can combine different parts of drums by making separate pads and then loading them into FPC one by one and building your custom drum kit. Then you can assign FPC's pads to separate mixer tracks easily. I wouldn't even bother with FPC if the whole process wasn't easy and fast and its GUI will be vectorized and scalable in the upcoming FL Studio's patch which will make things even better.

Now, because I play drums I'm highly picky when it comes to drum samples and I started building my own database, taking samples from sound libraries which I already had and started lurking for more, so I'll post some links which I think can be useful:

1. Big Mono (Free):
http://www.analoguedrums.com/products/big-mono/
It's rather a vintage sounding kit

2. G&S Custom work drum kits (Free)
http://www.autodafe.net/free-stuff/g-s- ... -kits.html

3. DrumMic'a by Sennheiser (Free)
http://de-de.sennheiser.com/drummica

4. Judd Madden's kit (Free)

ONE SHOTS
5. Yamaha Tour Custom Maple 14x6 Snare (Free)
Seraph Recordings - offers many snare and kickdrum one shots

6. Analogue Drums - Snare City - one shot snares (Paid)
https://www.analoguedrums.com/products/snare-city/
Plenty of good sounding snares, Gretch, Pearl, Mapes, Ludwig, picollo snares, you name it.

7. DrumWerks - crap ton of one shots (paid)
http://www.drumwerks.com

There are plenty of more sources I found and from which I was building my own drum kits, but they belong to other music genres, like jazz, funk, etc.
