why pound your hands sore?  just use AddDrums and drag a midi drum section that u like into the track.

Do you have a midi keyboard with pads on it?  You can map the pads to the corresponding keys in Session Drummer or Addictive Drums and drum with your fingers.

Hmm, isn't this just as easily done on a keyboard controller? You use your fingers and its velocity sensitive and all that stuff. If you really have to use your hands then I guess you could re map sections of keys into parts. 
 

Quick question for the OP... what software are you using now (SONAR version, etc.)? You probably have simple tools already available, but may not realize it.

Technically, you should be able to bang rhythms on a table top and use Audiosnap to convert the transients into midi data.  You could then select the midi notes for each part and transpose them to the proper pitch in order to trigger a drum sample.  Or you could tap out the rhythms for each part one at a time and have Audiosnap convert them to the proper pitch during the same process.

The Roland Handsonic, might be worth a look.

These are directions for how to do Mod Bod's suggestion.
 
1. Record yourself tapping on your guitar case or desk or whatever.
2. select the recorded clip and press A to open audio snap
3. In the right hand corner of the Audio Snap Pallet click the options button
4. Select Vary With Pulse Level in the Midi Extraction Section - this way your louder hits will be louder and softer taps will be softer after extracting the midi.
5. Change the track Edit Filter to Audio Transients in track view (it's on the track header as a drop down)
6. Move the Threshold slider in Audio Snap until your taps have transients in the right places
7. Next to the AudioSnap Power button there is a copy as midi button... copy your taps to midi.
8. Paste them into a midi track and route the midi to your favorite drum synth
9. select open Piano Roll view and select all the midi events and move them to the drum of your choice.
 
Melodyne is pitch sensitive. It does not create all of your taps at the same pitch necessarily (although you could probably manage it). Using AudioSnap should be simpler and work just fine.
 
If you don't get the velocity variation you are interested in, try normalizing the track before extracting the midi.

I know you said you can't use fingers and have many suggestions from others but I use this little Korg Nanopad and it is awesome. I have the entire drumkit at my fingertips. I also use it for synths, etc and it works great at a decent price.

If you are going to use your hands then an Akai MPD18 drum pad may help"

I have one and it does the trick for me, except I use sticks!

These are particularly useful if you buy the pad boosters from MPCstuff.com. Makes them much more linear and sensitive. 
Much of the time, though, I use Step Sequencer. With the ability to 'push' notes in time, add 'swing' and edit all the parameter for every hit, you can make very nice grooves as fast as you can do 3-4 takes. With Addictive Drums you also have more choices from each instrument and many more instruments to get nuance in your snare and cymbals. 
 
I have a drum set, and can hold a groove on a live session (NOT a drummer), but prefer crafting my rhythm tracks rather than pounding them out with my fingers on my upgraded MPD18.
