I believe the Killswitch drums used the Fat City snare sample from the Alesis D4 and toms from the DM-5. Some of the processing probably came from the Metric Halo Channel Strip and maybe some Crane Song tape emulation.
 
This is the best thing I've found to get that kind of sound:

Mistake #1 - Behringer. Use anything besides Behringer, it doesn't matter what specifically we're talking about, that company makes nothing but garbage.

DDrum triggers and Drumagog should get you where you need to be (they're good enough for Andy!) Perhaps you need some better samples. What DAW software are you using? What sample libraries are you using? Care to post a clip?
