You'll probably have to replace alot of the drums with samples, or better... mix in samples with the original drums. You could do this in your daw or something like drumagog. I suppose Drumkit From Hell is the most used library but maybe a more processed library would help you more. These bands edit VERY heavily. Apart from that the bassdrum and the snare is always quantized 100%, it is also very important to edit the bass and guitars to be super duper tight. A big part of why we think the snare sound (for example) is so great is because the bass and the guitars are hitting in exactly at the same time. Many of these bands sample the guitars and trigger them with a midi note. So it's really not only the drums that make the drumsound good.
