Edited grooves

I would like to know how most of us here build original grooves. I don’t necessarily mean typical rock drum grooves, but odd-time signatures, tom-heavy grooves in particular. Do you take existing grooves and edit them to fit what you hear in your head? Or do you build the grooves from the ground up? I know everyone does its differently, I’m just wanting to get fresh perspectives.

I don’t work with odd time signatures. But I do take existing grooves and make (sometimes substantial) changes. I will generally first make changes in EZD2 and then often make additional changes once it’s in my DAW (Pro Tools 11). The changes I make within EZD, such adding or deleting hits, are generally based on what I hear in my head. The changes in the DAW are more about making it fit into the context of whatever song I’m working on. I also like working in more than one EZX (more than one instance of EZD), which greatly increases the possibilities.
