Many of them do this, you should have no problem finding a pro unit to do this.

You may have trouble finding one that will rush and drag, like the real thing though!

Hi Joe, One that you might find on the "used" market is the Yamaha RX-11, and it has separate 1/4" output jacks on the back-for the different drums....ie...snare,bass,tom, etc. There are no brushes tho'. Good Luck!

What do you mean "track", audio or midi? There are many drum machines with only 2 or 4 outputs that will let you mute and reasign drum - output. So, you could do multiple over dubs on your multi-track using sync.

For added realism it would be nice to have one that is right-on early in the night, then get progressivly louder and off-time as the night (and alcohol level) wears on.

Joey,you are looking for exact realizim,boy, that would be perfect,and even show up late after each break,but then It couldn't be Japanese,they couldn't make any thing that imperfect! Lets not start all the drummer jokes now, this is a serious post! ('till I get on).
Anything Yammaha makes , I can recomend,All their products seem to be superb. Good luck, as I know you'll find what your looking for.

I seem to remember reading a few years ago that Roland/Boss were selling a drum machine with an in-built human factor to make it more realistic (presumably there were slight variations off the beat).

I had one that drools also, but it shorted out

The Alesis SR-16 has four outputs, main L and R, and Aux L and R, with each pad assignable and pannable to any of the four.

Typically, you would assign the snare and kick to the Aux outs, panned left and right respectively, and leave everything else in the stereo main outputs.

This gives you independent outs for those two drums, and a stereo mix (each pad editable for vol and pan) for the rest of the kit. Works great.....

Alesis D4 (and more modern versions of the same rack mount drum sound box) has assignable outputs- I think two stereo pairs, so you can isolate kick and snare, etc... all will still be controlled by note assignment on a single MIDI channel (ch10 most often)

you can split out the notes to seperate tracks in a sequencer.

so it is possible to do both... have the sounds assigned to individual AUDIO inputs/tracks and to have the MIDI data controlling each "drum" on it's own track.

what was the question?
