When I use the velocity editor to do blasts, I tend to slop them meaning I will click and then drag and let the natural curve of the mouse take a variation of about 4-5%.

And dont forget that you may be unhappy because they are too fast. Again in my geekiness, I found that most drummers that go over 230 bpm will start to count in triplets (1 2 3 1 2 3).

Yup... I was gonna say reverb is more of a concern than anything else. A lot of people will say decay is the concern, but it's really the level of reverb that you're using.
