As for me, I use Muse or Rosegarden --> Hydrogen.
I have made a drumkit from Timidity's mapping in two parts because there 
only!!! (ah! only!) 32 tracks in Hydrogen.
I'm not complaining about -not at all- but i'll hope as well 48 tracks. 
(Too much!)
I numbered the tracks in Hydrogen, understanding to begin number one for 
both b0 (Acoustic Bass Drum) and c1
(Bass Drum 1). The second part begins from Low Agogo, hence a second 
drumkit.
That is the drawback for this method.
 I have made a .wav repertory from Timidity's pat, improved the volume 
samples for a few of it with
Rezound, ans so I can easily work and record the drums with Midi then 
Ardour.
I choose this way because i'm thinking it's difficult to make a 
homogeneous drumkit.
Of course it isn't the top level, but for me the reverb effects and the 
other ones  inside the samples are the worst thing.
My 2 cents.
