I like this drum solo, which seems just discreetly tweaked by DJ:https://octoocta.bandcamp.com/track/ecstatic-beat

Are you thinking of RJD2 maybe? He started with breaks, and then obsessively learned to engineer and play (and then sample) his own breaks to match the qualities of a nice & dirty '60s/'70s recording.
