Here is my method... share yours??
1) loop a beat you consider is groovin'
2) play the kick and snare over the top of it on different tracks. Use a percusion sound that hits exactly the same as the loop and use it to feel out the groove of the sample... try and make it hit DEAD on ....
3) try very small amounts of swing and see if the KICK, SNARE, GROOVE HIT, come into line with your original loop.
4) if not try pushing or pulling the kicks forward or back a tick or two...\
5) do the same thing on the snare pushing the snare back will give drums a LAZY feel, foward a more agressive feel.
6) for minimal HHats record with quantise OFF, it will help you customise a groove.
7)for faster timmed hats, record with quantise on, and vary you amounts of swing, also try pulling the hats a few tick's ahead of the beat. This will emphasise the high hats and they will drive the beat...
Peace,
