I ALWAYS use samples. I don't change the original sound that much, just fix what is wrong with it. For example, by adding 40-80hz like we discussed in the dance thread. Personally, I get my samples off of CD's. For example NO DOUBT, "Hella Good", the kik and snare are begging to be stolen. Then I always combine my sample with the artist samples unless the track was done a long time ago and I'm instructed to modernize. Sample CD's are just too over whelming. Anyway, I find i use the same 15 kiks and snares for a few months, then hear something else I like. On another not try Trans X from Waves on dull samples, pretty cool. Samples are like PokeMan cards: lots of fun to collect and trade!
