It used to be that BIAB MIDI drums were limited to a 16th note grid, period. And the drum part could only play exactly on that 16th note boundary. That made the drums pretty mechanical sounding over time.

Live Drums (in the context of BIAB) was a feature whereby the drum patterns for styles could be imported from a MIDI file (that might have been played by a drummer using a MIDI-enabled drum set). That way, you can capture the nuances of the performance, as well as allowing for greater than 16th note resolution. That's why you see it in the section on styles and style-making.

You can still create styles on the grid, by the way, so you now have the option of both methods of entering drum patterns into styles.
