i know the answer, but i'm not going to tell you. i'm sort of an analog purist when it comes to finger snaps.

... but
finger snaps come from digits. So, that makes them, by their very nature, digital.

Get a sampling drum machine?

I don't want just like straight sample sounding stuff, I want it to have that drum machine-esque quality
I could just play an actual drum kit or snap my actual fingers

Whether you can edit them or not, most drum machines that do those sounds are sample-based anyway, like the R8.
Do you want to synthesize your own sounds? A reasonable snap could be made by pitching up, and shortening a handclap. I'd simulate brushes by adding filtered noise with a slower attack to the snare and cymbals. I've never owned a machine with those capabilities, but maybe look at an Electribe, Machinedrum, or something by Jomox.

Any drum machine with a Jazz Kit will do it... Get any Roland or an Akai XR20...

this sort of post is exactly why I never posted more than five times on harmony central

Also, most drum kits pre '85, and a lot after then too, are analog (no sampling necessary). White noise generators and sine wave oscillators are behind a lot of those sounds.
If you can't find anything you might try using a slow gear clone, set super fast, and white noise in bursts (an lfo-modulated white noise generator, or even just an old cheapo Casio drum machine could get you there). In my head that sounds like a drum machine version of brushes. You could try running an envelope filter after the slow gear to see if that gets closer. I have no idea how you'd do finger snaps, though....

Most medium quality machines will have a jazz kit. The dr,. Rhythm series is surprisingly useful to snag samples from.
One of my favorite things to do is use an esx-1 to sample other machines, and then use it's effects or outboard effects to modify them.
