[uh-oh]

what i mean by incorporating other sounds, alot of times with a basic kick/snare/hihat pattern its easy to overdo it with them, whether its the kick/snare or whatever. if you dont overdo it, it might sound empty.

to compensate and keep the groove simple, but still busy enough to not feel empty, you can use other sounds, like percussion type instruments. cymbals, congas/bongos, toms, tamborines etc

i'll go into more on how to use those types of drums this weekend or sometime this week if im not a lazy bum after work
