What is the best method or to create a drum beat / groove?

[Angstrom]

- Doing Beatbox and process the result with various effects such as iZotope Vocal Synth, Movement, etc.

Have you ever tried using Abletons "Audio to beats" conversion feature? (or whatever its called)
I usually program my drums meticulously on a grid, managing sample selection and stuff note by note, but I suspect a beatboxer could get semi usable midi patterns out of that audio conversion feature.

Sure I have tried that, but my beatbox style is more of a free style improvisation, so the feature didn't translate it well. Also I didn't feel the need to do that for my type of music, especially since I have a decent source for drum sounds for being layered with my voice. But it certainly useful for many type of beatbox style.
