There timing is their worst aspect as far as I'm concerned and their sounds are the 2nd worst. The timing is half quantized from what I hear. The snare and bass might be quantized while the kick and hat aren't. You can hear little inconsistincies where the kick is a little too fast or falls behind. There is always something a little out of sync. They definetly don't swing. Their sounds are stock. You can find them in all of your favorite synths. I still think they are great, but not for the above reasons.
