The vast majority of high-end professional sample augmentation is done with by hand editing to cut "triggers" (once cycle waveforms which represent just the attack amplitude of each hit) and Sound Replacer (with follow dynamics on so it follows the relative volume of the hit).
The benefits over drumagog are this: Sample Accuracy & no extra playback DSP. (I know you can print drum-agog and that solves the DSP problem.)
Downsides: Takes a long time to cut triggers for Kick & Snare.... especially metal tunes!
But its how I make a good chuck of my income is just from cutting triggers for other engineers.
