Please verify that you have Superior 2.2.2 installed.  They won’t show up unless you have at least that version installed.
You can check the version by opening Superior; the version number should be listed near the top right area, just to the left of where it says “Superior Drummer”.
Hope it helps!

That’ll be a ProTools setting.
I’m not very familiar with ProTools so…

hopefully someone else can answer better! 😀

…but you’ll probably be looking for something along the lines of “overdub” for MIDI in the help files.

[edit]
Nevermind… found it in the Pro Tools Reference Guide
Page 355, “Record Modes and MIDI” — you’re looking for “MIDI Merge”.
It’s worth reading that section of the manual for more info too.

I do see one Latin Percussion update in the downloads area…
http://www.toontrack.com/downloads.asp
…but I’m not certain that’s where the “Additional” grooves came from.  Here’s how they appear in my grooves listing…

I don’t know if it will work, but have you tried debit instead?
That will draw directly from, usually, your checking account.

tried all the ones i own (which is most)
and I’d have to say the closest would be in the stock Superior Drummer kit, Avatar, with the 13″ Sabian HHX Evolution hi-hat (not the default one).

runners up were actually also stock kits, but ones from EZ Drummer — Pop/Rock 14″ Sabian HHX Manhattan and maybe the Cocktail 14″ Zildjian – Sticks hi-hat.

did some quick research afterward, but couldn’t turn up what cymbals Mr. Willie Hall actually used for that song.

assuming you just have EZ Drummer, the best I can come up with for what I *think* you’re looking for is in the included Cocktail EZX kit.
change the ride cymbal to “Ride Mikaelsson – Sticks” and the low velocity hits should get the effect I *think* you’re going for?

sorry, I’d written a reply the other day and then my browser decided to die — figured you’d have had another response by now! 😀

i’ll try to remember what I’d intended to post…

generally, I also start with 100.  and then just mouse it up and down from there, depending on what “feels” right and what sounds right, especially thinking about how I would actually drum the part (*if* I were actually a drummer… so there’s a bit of virtual virtualization going on there… :P).

and as far as things not being audible in the mix… I suppose it depends on the mix, but I definitely notice that even small things that *seem* inaudible add something to the sound… take them away and you may notice there’s *something* missing, but you may not be quite sure what it is.
(and also, the other lower-velocity hits are there because not all music is loud! :D)

in other words… it sounds like you’re doing things right. 🙂  (…as far as I know…)
you could also possibly try a volume boost and compression/limiting to make the quiet elements stand out a little more
and also, if something is *actually* getting lost in the mix, either panning or EQ should prevent it from sitting on top of something else and trying to occupy the same frequency or stereo space.
