I do all my drum programming in Reaper. At the moment I use Shortcircuit (1.1.2) and it is great like this. This sampler is quite powerful (although I don't even use all the fancy stuff like filters and so on) and the routing is straight forward and intuitive. Using the midi editor for drum editing is also quite nice. I usually have a preset of a drum track (with Shortcircuit already loaded with some drums samples that will be replaced during the song composition) that has a one bar midi item and the editor set to only show the notes that I use (with drum names on the left side and the triangle thingy to show the drum hits). From there on it is like any other drumeditor I have used so far. Except maybe one thing that you (and also still I) have to get used to: The (groove) quantize! This shifts all notes visually relative to the static grid. Which is okay, but gets problematic as soon as you intend to still add some note after the others are quantizes. I guess it would be more convenient to have (additionally) a groove quantize for the hole track, that applies the swing without visually showing it. But nevertheless, drum programming in Reaper is almost like anywhere else. Especially now, since you can hide the tracks for the single drums in the TCP. Another nice thing with Shortcircuit btw. is that it has the ability to save the drumsamples you use together with the project, which is nice for backup/archiving.
I use BFD VST with Reaper. I insert notes "live" with midi keyboard, and quantize / edit them later. It's the best way for me to get exactly what I want :-)

I use AnalogueDrums-samples in ShortCircuit. 99% I insert a ready midi-clip to track and modify it to suit my needs. VERY basic midi-stuff here, but I dig the MIDI-editing in reaper, alot.

All my drums are programmed in Reapers Midi editor. And since I suck at programming I usually play the drums I want on my midi keyboard and then edit the notes that are too groovy ;-) When I'm on my laptop and on the move I click in everything note by note. Either way things usually end up as many midi parts that sometimes go to the same vsti or in some cases several different ones. Sounds are from all over the place. Either from old Waldorf Attack, Smackbox or samples in Alchemy or Kontakt. Pipeline have some really nice drum sounds on his site. Thanks Pipe! :) //s

When I use MIDI vs real drums I use EZDrummer here. Like others I will start with a pattern and tweak to what I need. I purchased some additional grooves from Groove Monkey and like them a lot. Still I rarely use any sample with out changing something.
programming drums without MIDI or any sample player is fun w/Reaper. much more fun than with the most (or any) of the DAWs out there, imHo. sadly, MIDI still has some benefits over the Audio way. but the Audio way has its own goodies too.. ;) my 2bits.
