I seem to have difficulty with correctly notating (and playing) imported MIDI Drums tracks from my DAW into Sibelius Ultimate.

In my DAW, I predominantly use XLN Addictive Drums 2 and the output MIDI file looks like GARBAGE and sounds like CRAP in Sibelius (and Music XML just as bad).

Any assistance would be very much appreciated!

You need to make sure you are using the correct drum map and that your drums are properly quantized. Sending unquantized MIDI data to sibelius and choosing the wrong settings in MIDI import will produce garbage.
