I'd love to be able to stack a bunch of samples to get a drum sound
and then convert it to a single static sample, or sample my Virus and
leave it at home... More effects would have been great, too.

Oh well. I'd love to see a hardware sampler engine with lots of knobs,
PWM, FM or Phase Mod, oscillator sync, dual filters, faster envelopes,
lots of realtime effects, etc. But I guess the hardware sampler's day
is done.

You can use the linked presets to  split/layer up to 12 samples, and
you can  tranpose each sample to put it on whatever key range makes
sense. I don't know if that helps you though - I don't even bother
with kits, since I put each drum on a separate track and turn
transposition off (so the notes are always on the same key and easy to
find).
