Drum machines are synthesized percussion ;) If you look around, a few of
them will provide excellent controllable sound. I use an Allen & Heath
Inpulse One from 1985, if you find one... then snap it up. They made
less than 100, though ;)

Anyway, have you checked out Sound on Sound? I don't know if they keep
all their articles online, because they sell PDF CDs, but they have had
a very comprehensive tutorial on programming drum sounds - mostly around
the SH-101 (so I enjoyed it), but the theory can be applied to pretty
much anything. The 808 kick and snare were featured a couple of months
ago IIRC.
