Kudos to Reason Studios

For having the common sense to make a 4x4 pad layout for Reason Drums because It's a PITA in SD3. If only we could add our own samples like SD3 I would ditch SD3.

Got Kong?

Wanted a live drum setup though and Reason Drum kit module is different than Kong.

With the right sample set, Kong can do everything that Drums can do

I'm quite fond of the RE Reason Studios created around their RDK sample set. It has a nice interface, with just the right amount of "pretend studio" stuff for my taste.
Problem is, I don't think the RDK sample material is very good! It lacks all those big, long, and tedious raw samples needed to build a believable modern (in sound quality, if not in style) sound. It's pretty clunky and mechanical sounding.

The Reason Drum Kit RE could get a second lease on life with a whole new sample set, if it had as many full-length round robins and dynamic layers as something like EZ Drummer. Perhaps they could license material from a smaller company, like Goran Grooves.
Or they could allow us to import our own samples into it's structure, as long as we could define proper big and detailed sample sets.
