Don't be mad
Don't quantize your drums. Practice playing your drums with your own unique feel. Goes a long way.
You could also manually move certain notes off the grid slightly, but this always seemed so tedious to me.

Get some rhythm and play the drums w/o quantize
DO NOT quantize
quantizing fukks me up =(
don't quantize is the census
i'm so use to quantize my drums man
what part of the X u from?
Sometimes you can copy the same kick on to another pad and adjust the attack and release on the volume envelope so it gives your kicks that variation like "bu-Boom".
even when I dont quantize and play my drums out..shyt still sounds robotic man smh

This and also mess with the velocity to give the push and pull feel.
Head shots I'm not from the Bronx, just living out here now, Bedford park area, from Harlem tho.
what i do is i'll set it up with quantize then adjust as necessary. i usually have a varying mix of quantized/unquantized drums with varying attack/volume levels.
What are you using?
gotta use what u have but i love my keyboard controller.
I'm using Maschine
Going practice more over the weekend....need to shake this sound man....I have no problems chopping up and putting together samples.... my problem is I'm lazy wit the drums
