i use addictive drums for acoustic kicks, snares, hats, cymbals, etc. i layer it with synthetic kick/snares, i'll typically use all acoustic hats/cymbals. so make your full loop in addictive drums then in addition to that loop, i will also sequence a loop of hats/rides in addictive drums, bounce it out and tinker with the audio (detune a few hits and lower the volume to simulate velocity change), then hi-pass that hat/ride loop. you want this hi-passed layer to sound somewhat "blurry" so it just adds some extra busyness, you can sidechain that hi-passed loop depending on what you're going for.
it's amazing what results you can achieve with that formula, no need for funk breaks.

with dnb it's all about layering when it comes to snares. go through your one shots until you find some snares that compliment each other well (each snare filling a different frequency band nicely). sometimes if i want a little extra brightness and can't find a snare that is filling the gap, i'll use a synth's noise oscillator (no sustain, fast decay just like a snare) and adjust the noise from brown to white, keep an eye on a spectrum analyzer or just use your ears until it's at the right frequency range. layer those noise hits with your snares and EQ it as needed to remove unwanted frequencies, let it sit quietly behind your layered snares.
also, alternate trick is to layer your snare with a crash cymbal. put reverb on the crash and lower its volume so you can't really hear that it's a crash cymbal, just so that it sits in the mix and fills up those higher frequencies enough to where it sounds nice. sidechain the crash cymbal to some ghost kicks
