There are built in ones, but I want something realistic sounding to go with my (real) guitars and bass.
EDIT: Not sure why you deleted your response, as you made some valid comments, so I’ll just write my response here: Free synths are usually OKish if used properly. But I’m not looking for OKish, I need something that sounds as good as the real thing, and for that I am willing to pay.
Last time around I used pirated stuff. Cakewalk Sonar (although I didn’t like the newer versions), Drumkit From Hell, and misc Edirol stuff mostly focusing on piano and orchestra. After really enjoying a trial version of Bitwig, I’ve decided to go for the full version as the foundation, so now I just need to find modern equivalents to the rest so I can buy them.
Does your DAW not have those built in or are you after hardware?

Most modern DAWs will have plenty of realistic sounds, it’s getting them to play realistically that’s difficult.
Edit: forgot you use Linux.
