Ugritone can be used for pop, rock, etc. too. In EZDrummer, I'd even sometimes use the Nashville kit for metal. It's more a matter of whether the software will allow enough adjustments or not. This software does allow for that.

You would have to adjust most of the presets (since the mix is more suited to metal), and I expect you might not like some of the expansions available for KVLT II (and you might not care for Northern Artillery). But these plugins have multiple mic channels, various kit pieces to substitute, EQ, pitch, and one-shot slots, so it's not like a "pre-baked" sound per kit; what starts out even as a "death metal" kit preset can be transformed into something great for rock.

If you expect to play jazz with them though (or blues), then I'd agree that you probably shouldn't use them.

If you're just concerned about rock (or even blues) sounds, Riot should be good. It's just the one kit though.

You might also like the DrumGizmo kits I made.

It's in the repo of your distro (at least the LV2 version).

Also there are these:

They're probably in your distro's repo.
