Killswitch Engage - Bid Farewell type of drumming

Ok....I'm looking for some pointers on how to achieve a drumming style with the program that would fit the Killswitch Engage style of drumming. What would the recommended drummer and kit be? How would you go about trying to achieve this?

Keep in mind I have the XL pack and the Metal pack... I'm looking for general ideas of how to get there...maybe not the exact song as mentioned, but along that style - In fact anything from the End of Heartache album would be acceptable! LOL I'm not a drummer so I really don't know how to think like one... but I'm really into the heavy double bass runs that they have, yet then be able to kick down to a real guitar driven straight beat drum groove.

Any pointers?

I would use the 'Jason' drummer model and 'Modern Metal'. If you want to get real close to the song you mentioned, you'll have to create the basic groove yourself in the bar editor and then save it and add it to a Metal style via Add->Groove Importer.
