Some people take months or even years to finish tracks. Others record and mix a whole track in an afternoon.

kick . . . snare etc, I wouldn't be doing the drum kit pieces individually if that is what you are getting at, they would all have their own tracks, but all done at the same time whether played live, programmed, using midi loops etc.

For my XG MIDI 16 track MIDi sequences, that's how I do it.  However, I do have a standard template that sets up the tracks with the right controllers. The patches I chose depends on the track I am sequencing.

Hi. I do it one by one, except for as mentioned above drums. I either play them myself, or use MIDI loops as starting points. 
It can be a time consuming process, but a process of love/passion. It can take from hours to years to finish.
All the best.

I do it track by track as well. All my Drums are on separate channels (Kick on 1, Snare on 2, Hi hat on 3, exc).
This makes setting levels and adding FX to each drum kit piece easier than if you had 1 midi track triggering a soft synth drum kit. There's only so much you can do inside of Addictive drums. But when you split the kit up, you can use pro channel and good FX for each kit piece.
 
Once you set it up you then make yourself a project template. this way it is available for recall at any time.

Yes, properly creating music (or art) can take a long time.  The record I'm currently mixing took 6 years to properly arrange and record!  But when it's done I will confidently be able to say "this is exactly what I wanted to release" with no excuses.
 
A friend of mine recently recorded a "live off the floor" album in a day.  Recorded, mixed, mastered, all in about 16 hours.  His band was tight, and he wanted that raw feel.  Part of me wishes my project felt right in that manner, but mine is layered and I performed 90% of the instruments.  So it took what it took.
 
If you rush it, it will almost never sound "complete."  This stuff takes what it takes.
