I like Electric Feel and Time To Pretend by these guys but can't figure out how they do their drums. Do they use live drums for these two songs or do they use a drum machine?
 
Definitely live drums, but wouldnt be surprised to know that they layer them with electronic drums for their signature sound. Love that band.
 
The World Instruments library in Logic Pro might have what you need. Obviously, you'd need to tweak the preset library sounds a bit, but otherwise, I don't think it'd be too difficult. I'd suggest try the African kit / Latin kit, possibly add some distortion (it sounds like it from what I hear, unless its just me hearing bad quality audio!) and mess around with EQ and echoes/delays.
 
i reckon its a live kit thats been heavily processed/effected
