Well, sounds good, but it's not true. Not true at all. Just hit the usual forums whenever a new album of a famous band is released and see people go crazy when stuff doesn't sound like it should sound. Saint Anger anyone? Death Magnetic? Opeth?
And regarding the comfort zone: Do not think that you are innovative because you choose to use a sample/sound that normally won't be used for this genre. If you do this because you can't get the snare to sound like it should sound you take the easy way out - and therefore stay in your own comfort zone instead of learning how to get THAT sound
