Do they have snare sounds with that top mic sound?  I am not a fan of most snares on most music, I like that quickly decaying "snare" with a top mic kind of knocking punch.  

With the snare there is  fader to balance between the top mic and bottom mic. And with the Kick a mic on the front and the beater. This is for all snares and Kicks.
 
You can then also adjust the decay further with the envelope.

Where in the world am I going to get that sound without mic'ing and eq'ing a real kit? 

What I think XLN has done is to create a decent drum recording room in a box.  If you know how to mic and EQ a real kit, you should be able to geek out with the controls in AD2. 
 
And after you get the kit sounding the way you like using the XLN mixer and effects, you can route the audio over multi outs to your DAW and process the channels using plugin FX on separate audio tracks.

Track 15 is your MIDI track, which you can use to input the MIDI data for Addictive Drums 2. You can also insert any beat directly from Addictive Drums 2 onto track 15 by clicking the “Beats” tab in the upper-right corner of Addictive Drums 2, highlighting any beat and dragging it to Track 15.
 
The first track is a Master Track, which outputs all the sound from Addictive Drums 2 onto one stereo track. Most of the subsequent tracks are mono outputs for each individual drum from Addictive Drums 2, allowing you to process the audio from each drum kit piece individually. For convenience, the Overhead, Room, and Bus tracks are all formatted as stereo as well (as indicated by (ST) on the respective tracks. Note that processing in SONAR on any of these tracks will not affect how the AD2 Master (ST) track will sound; only processing within Addictive Drums 2 will affect the way this track sounds. This provides for lots of versatility, as you can use this track for things like parallel processing, having a dry track to compare to, or even having it muted altogether so you can monitor the individual kit pieces only.

Here's an MP3 "Clyp" of a few patterns from the AD2 "Diabolic" MIDIpak, played with the AD2 "United Heavy" kit.  The preset kit used was "PCD Pwr To The Metal".
 
All of the kit settings were left as is, routed a single stereo output to the DAW, and no processing was used other than a quick mixdown through Ozone Elements using the "Full Master" preset (EQ and Maximizer), before exporting the demo to MP3.
 
I auditioned these patterns through a number of kits that I have, and I think this one is the best I have for this genre.  I don't have the Metal kit, and the MIDIpak patterns were from the previews in my copy of AD2.
