Drum software and quantinization

I am a guitar player, not a drummer. I don't own a drum set. However, the music I like to create usually needs custom drum tracks for accents and alternative rhythms.
There are tons of software drum machines around, however most are programmable using the beat grid. When I see that grid, all inspiration for recording is gone. Forget it. It always ends up sounding fake anyway.

Drum sound?

Hey all,
I'm new to the site and to sound engineering so i ask you what you think of my recordings.

I'm a drummer who does some gig's a year and record drum covers,make drum tracks for other people in my home studio.

I dont got mutch because i'm on a very thight budget (you know how expensive drums are and i dont got a job since i'm still going to school.

Problems with drum playback

When I record drums in my home studio and then play it back, I'm having a problem. When listening through my headphones and computer speakers it sounds terrible, but when I listen through my studio monitors it sounds great. So I have no idea which one I should rely on to tell how the drums actually sound. Someone please help me this is so aggravating -________-
