write good drum patterns. use your samplers options like velocity > sample start point / eq / experiment the way you write your patterns and the samples you choose is the most important part.

Did you try to add a bit of swing? most sequencer offer a swing setting. I loved to mimick the house shuffle in trackers...

Compression, also the new york style of compression (haha) comes to mind. Leave the original cymbals, treat it with eq to your liking, route the signal to a send/audio track and compress the sh out of it, hard settings on the compressor like ratio 4:1. Slowly rise the volume of this copy so it's mixed to the original and blends in.

to get a syncopate feeling I like to use filters with small variations and mild volume variations.

another go is to copy over the cymbal track (route, whatever), eq so that a narrow frequency is left and treat that with a phaser, flanger, whatever comes to mind... now mix it in to the original. Repeat the step with different settings. For this job, if I understood your initial question correctly, less is more

Also try negative settings on compressor, that's an expander if I'm not mistaken. when the volume of the signal is lower than the treshhold the expander will lower the volume of it even more. You don't have to kill the quiet sounds completely, mild ratios will do magic

sidechaining? can be quite comforting to cymbal sounds.

give a good example, I'm also on trying to improve my percussion parts

cubase's time stretch works well..


recently i've got a remix pack, all samples at 149 bpm.. then i got every one of them and stretched to 138bpm and it was perfect!

Those should be the velocities expressed in hexadecimal codes. You can have the same result setting the velocities in your non tracker sequencer. For more info about that:

not exactly velocity, it's tempo. to shuffle the tempo of the track a little bit, to make it less stiff.

You can do that in ableton live pretty good with groove quantisation. Works in a way or another in every sequencer.

My example of the tracker is pure nostalgia

And yeah, you program the velocities in trackers also in hex.           soundcloud.com/epsylohm
