Good advice in that piece.
 
My best drum-programming epiphany came after watching a top-down camera view of Nick Mason playing and realizing just how little he was doing. Less can indeed be more.

I agree bit...

Bonham wasn't "fancy" he was just simple and rock solid...

on the other hand there is Neil Pert, one of the very few "compositional" players 
out there...and he's amazing at it...

Yeh, but there's no way I'm ever going to try and emulate Neil P. One of the rules in that article is avoid programming impossible beats.

I had a read of the article and, in general, it reaffirmed stuff I am familiar with. I spend quite a while going over pretty much every note played on my drum track. Having said that, some of my stuff I leave fully quantized and I just edit velocities. I reckon that's what sometimes fits my style of music best

I almost laughed out loud at that
