Hey does anyone have any tips on smooth and believable snare rolls...?
I love the kind of triphoppy beat style that has those micro fills between the snare and kick that sound like the drummer let their stick lag against the drumhead. Know those?
ah, better yet, an example from recent listening on Pandora:

Anyone? Please?

Ghost or grace notes
Do a search and you'll find plenty of tutorials on youtube of how to create those kinds of snare patterns.

anyone else got tips? I'm wondering how one uses samples to emulate ghost notes. It seems difficult to make them realistic unless you use one of Live Suite's multi-sampled kits, which may or may not always sound the way you want. What about using a vinyl drumbreak?

find any break - shit even the most famous Jame's Brown samples have ghost notes in them. vinyl would be your best sample. sample, chop, adjust velocity.

Make a Crescendo 909 snare roll in 16th or 32nd intervals, apply various groves timings to it, then slice n dice. Its pretty easy to do.
