Classic = old
Deluxe = new
with ssd4 ex you'll get new samples + cymbals; trigger comes with old samples and 1 deluxe snare (if I'm not mistaken) and without cymbals, but you will be able to use lots of third party multi-layered samples.
My advice will not be original, but you can use Tokyo Dawn Labs Proximity (it's not just volume fader) and Parameter modulation => DistGain.
