The DFH is a great kit -- pretty much what you are asking for.

Most drums on this kit have many velocity -- eg snares have 9 velocity layers.
The cymbals have fewer layers but there are five different sets of multisamples
for the hats and many choices for kicks and snares. The samples are in two sets
-- Room and Close and you can run both kits simultaneously and balance the room
sound with the close mic sound.

A new super-sized version DFH II is due at the end of the year/ early 2004 and
it will have many gigs of 24 bit samples with more velocity levels.

Also there is the FXPansion BFD beast coming soon with something like 9 gigs of
samples. This monster will have recordings of all hits with room mics, close
mics, boundary layer (PZM) mics. It will also have 64 velocity layers on each
drum and it is expected to be released pretty soon. Both of these will work as
standalone instruments I believe. 

You can read more about BFD on FXpansion's KVR forum. 

DFH is on the toontracks site
