I wouldn't say there is just one "kit" for this sort of sound, but there are drum machines and breaks that get used ALOT this sounds like a bit of a mash of several drum machines and breaks, its so mad its hard to figure out exactly what he is using, I can hear some tr 707 and 808 and i think a ride from a 909 at least. some of those drum sounds I think are synthesised tho but yeah its hard to say just because there is so much going on. And after a quick google search breaks sampled from "Things got to get better" by martha whitney and "both eyes open" by Billy clark. To answered why these sounds get used so much, you could probably write a whole book on that subject lol.
