Depend on how much you want to pay... Sand Wind Aug 2013 #2
Anything up to $CAN1000 for the right box TrogL Aug 2013 #3
Today, except if you have a lot of cash, you use sampler. For that, two possibilities. Sand Wind Aug 2013 #4

Performing live? Ableton Live Suite with Push (you will become a minor deity).

Studio? Reason 7

Both have great, great drums and I use both, depending on the situation.

Live and/or Reason drums in my stuff: https://soundcloud.com/dogknob

Loockback O'Connor and especially Bad Pot Luk have various snare rolls/fills.

If you are an accomplish synth programmer, you will try to find an used Elektron Octotrack for 1000. This is the best for the price. But beware, it's a complex machine, and a lot of new people buy it to sell it the next week because the first approach is difficult : it's really an Ableton in a Box.

If you need more a ready-to-beat-now machine, then a Korg Electribe ESX1SD will be the best on for EDM with his dual vacuum tube. The sound is great, good versatility, and the sequencer is really intuitive.

But as another post already said, you can do that in computer Daw too.

Hope it help !
