Put a snare drum in a sampler
Create a MIDI clip
Draw some notes
Go to your envelope in the clip and write a pitch bend in

Yeah that too :) Yet another way is to put a snare in a sampler and put an arpeggiator before it and automate device on/off when you want rolls to happen. Mess with sync rate, gate and octaves.
