Exactly. And maybe slightly tweaking the volumes of some of the hits. It probably wouldn't hurt if the samples were from the same kit. For example Drumkit From Hell or NSkit.
Thanks for the advice! The sound quality of the drums totally depend on how much time you're willing to spend on them. Unfortunately for me, I'm lazy, so in turn I get an "OK" drum sound. Believe it or not the whole song is velocity programmed. I spent a couple hours adjusting velocities. Maybe I didn't tweak it enough. There are some options to "humanize" the whole loop but I think it sounds even worse as some hits are way too quiet and some are to loud. I need to look into a different program. FruityLoops sucks. But for now I think they sound pretty mean. Anyone ever try Reason? Any good?
As for the samples, I can't justify buying DFH because I havn't been able to try it. I wish they would make a trial download or somebody would kick down a few samples to hear/try. I have the NSkit but I think it sounds kinda weak for hard hitting metal.
I really appreciate all your guy's feedback. I've recieved about 75 emails from people asking about the song, how I did it, how long I've been playing, even a guy with a studio in Columbia who wants to master it. I didn't think anyone would like it that much. Thanks!
Then there's all those "cool song, GIMME YOUR POD TONE FILE" people. lol.
For the guy who wants my samples:
The entire file with all the samples is way to big for me to email. I would have to do them 1 or 2 at a time. That would take forever. A P2P transfer via IM or some other way would be better.

Email me and let me know what IM you use and the screen name, I'll hook you up.
Those who want the POD tone file, email me and I'll send it out.
You guys rock! Lets hear some other peoples stuff! POST IT!
