Its seems like your only varying the end of the phrase, try giving elements towards the beginning of the clip a bit of a shuffle round, and add some as one shots
if that made any sense, its like 6amand ive been up all night again, getting nothing done

Record yourself hitting different objects and ROUND ROBIN it. This will help a lot.

I really enjoy percussion in my music.

I mainly use single percussive hits from online sample packs, but i record a few of my own hits too. I load them into the EXS24, and i use the pitch dial quite often if there's one percussive hit i really like. By moving the pitch up or down a few semitones you can create a whole new sample pack of slightly different hits, all from one original.

Then it's just a case of playing in a percussive 'melody' on my pads with the main drum pattern on loop. I don't hard quantise after i'm happy with the results, i just go through the pattern and drag any notes that sound too far out into place.

Anything else, just PM me.

I enjoy your percussion too Percept

Big up!
