I know this doesn't fit exactly your original request, and I hope you
can accomplish *exactly* what you are looking for, but I've done this
for years and years and years now. For $50 buy a copy of Drumtrax, a
MID library of 100's of drum patterms originally played on an
electronic drum kit and captured via MIDI and then put what you're
interested in into any good MIDI sequencer - when working in Linux I
personally use Rosegarden - and then cut and paste the parts which fit
your song.

Granted, these don't really sound like sequencer patterns out of the
box, but you can modify MIDI velocity, quantize to your heart's
content. Best of all it's really easy.

Just an idea and I'm not associated with the DrumTrax folks at all. Promise!

Cheers,
Mark
