Looking forward for your comments Sox.

Here are my thoughts: Some times using loops give's you a sound that you can't get any other way....but there's a lot to be said for building your own drum tracks...I use sequencers from time to time to trigger samples. This let's you create beats exactly the way you want em...but it's hard to keep that open "feel".
Lately I got into creating my own drum tracks by hand using samples. It is the most time consuming...but it let's you have the best of both worlds. On my last track I sampled some "war sounds". Mostly cannons and gun shots...added effects to the drum sounds.
Then I built the entire drum track using these samples...the final result was just what I was looking for...not exactly a DnB track...but the track (Disorder) has great SOUNDING drums and a wild beat.
I created a new band name called "Master Please" for these tracks using the custom drums....if yer curious you can check out the Disorder track here:

I am just finishing a track called DRUGS...built TWO crazy drum tracks for this song...they are both playing at the same time in stereo....this created a wild effect....I'll post the url to that song when I get it uploaded
Hopefully I'll have a true DnB track ready by that time too. Thanx to all who have been posting in here about how THEY go about creating their stuff....learning some new tricks
Laterz.......Overdrive

I love breabeat and drumandbass and jungle and every genre and sub genre that comes with a half speed big bass line and frenetic beats
My problem is i never knew how to do it .
Thanks some one in the thread for the idea of cutting a 4 bar rythmn in eights and going nuts on your sequencer.
and thanks to the person somewhere on this page who figured out "funky drummer" so that i can play it in my little ol hammerhead.
Just a little something i was doing in order to get good break beats
take a loop...
any loop....
make sure it starts on a kick drum...
call it loop 1
now take that same loop copy it and paste it at the end
cut it just right so that the 4 bar loop starts on a snare and finishes on that same snare
call that loop 2
any other interesting hits in the loop
follow above proceddure to creat loops that start and finish on that hit.
now.
load into your sequncer..
every time you want a kick...loop 1
every time you want a snare ...loop 2
etc..
you can make some very nice rithmns when you use a simple 4/4 beat but eliminate the 2 and 4 kick and use the snare loop at 2 and 4
call it destructo-broken-beaten-houser-of-doom?
Any way my knowledge has increased ten fold because of you guys ... thanks a large bunch
