I'm sure some will say to not use the grid, but I'm having trouble with finding anything interesting sounding at a 110bpm rate. Nothing seems to have nice flow like in released tracks. I saw a brief tutorial, but it used a "triplet" grid in FL Studio.

How are you guys working in your midi to this funky drum pattern??

You can switch to triple by pressing CMD or CTRL-3 when you're in the piano roll or arrangement window.

110 seems a little slow, but then I did just make a similar beat at 116...

Just practice, you'll get used to where the typical hits go in the piano roll, some hits fit better in triplet and some don't so get used to switching between triplet and normal. The quickest way to lay down the foundation is turn on the metronome and play the part by hand, you can refine it afterwards.

If you can't do that, put a section of a made song in and put your parts on top of it, copying basically)

Oh, and using the groove pool may help you out also.

moombahton has lots of triplets methinks.
