Paradox released 2 tracks on the Archive label from italy, some years ago. Look out for "Paragon of Virtue"... proper heavy drum workouts. Dark and funky.
"Syncopation" is anther wicked track, still play it in my sets.
The Bracket remix I did is a bit like this vibe, dirty chopped drumbreaks at the forefront. Will drop it at the combat radio show this Jan 31st 
I quite like the way drumfunk tracks contain the swing and groove of the original drummers - you end up making a different track from sampled break loops, more loose, natural and ruff sounding, than you would a track made from individual drum hits.
I guess a notable exception is Reso, who uses his own drumming skills to make sick beat arrangements.
