I have to respectfully, but completely, disagree with this. I think things like "funky drum" quantize templates, etc. are garbage. When has anyone ever used a groove template? Also, when did it become "not about what sounds best"? personally I'm willing to sacrifice almost anything for sound (probably to a stupid degree)....
I guess I have my own ways, but when I want real drummer-sound, I either record with a set or use a live break/loop, and don't quantize, or only quantize certain notes. When I want programmed drum sounds, I program my drum sounds and personally I like the way hardware samplers and analog drum machines sound much more.
just sayin...
