Wow man, Nice Job!
If I only had this about 6 months ago, I had to figure it all out on my own (and with DFHS which is even more of a bitch). Ill help answer some of the questions, and hopefully learn some new stuff as well.
Btw- This should be the official "Questions about working with cubase drum programming" thread as well.

'How do I rename the drum patterns? Right now they're all called "MIDI 01".'
Refer to the first attachment.
The bottom three red circles are all areas where you can double click and input the name (2 for the midi file name, and one for the midi track name). The top two are where you can access your pool where you can re-name it, I could be wrong but I think midi files are included in the pool (not at home computer).
'How do you do quick double-kicks? Like the beats want to align themselves to the grid, so I get like'
Refer to second attachment. Activate the Quantize button and change what note/beat length you want to quantize to, the grid will then change accordingly. Now you can draw your beats with the pencil or record it into the midi track with a controller (keyboard, electric drums, etc.).
Edit- BTW Chris you can turn off the 'Auto-Snap' feature by clicking the button to the left of the Q or 'Quantize" button (one I circled in second pic), this will make it so it doesn't align to the grid and you can place the beats where ever you want. This is also good to turn off when you want to make your drums sound more human, by moving each beat a little (zooming in will help), since no drummer plays in PERFECT time.
Edit2 - I'm PEtarded, I circled the midi track thinking that would rename the drum pattern, ignore that circle.
