Programming snare rolls?

Hey guys.

So I've been working on a new beat and wanted to incorporate a snare roll in it. Somewhat similar to this song (starts at 0:16):



Now I know the snare he uses is live (or at least has live snare layers), but is there a way to get something close and similar to this sound by programming? I don't have live drums to record, but I do have some live drum samples and was looking to layer them with some other samples but wanted to see if anyone had any insight on this. Thanks.

These are not live drums, so yes it's possible and more than likely how this was achieved in the track, The illusion of the snare roll is just merely the use of velocity in the drum pattern
