Yes, indeed!  A huge aspect of "replicating" real instruments is to  
consider how the real instrument is played.

In particular, when playing percussion samples, to play them with the  
"two finger" method imparts a visceral feeling to the music.   
Quantized/programmed material produces a more "objective/mechanized"  
effect.   I use whatever approach gives me the effect that I want.
