some good suggestions here, i really want to get some pointers on actually synthesising drums from scratch, i dont mind using preset starters to get me going but im interested to find out the step by step process of how drums are formed.

been playing about with synths and getting some pretty reconizable drum sounds which seem to sound much better than most samples but i could use a few pointers. is there anything online which goes into detail about how electronic drums are built up / made etc?
