make a tempo click metronome sound with like 4 operators. have them all play a clip at different time signatures. on the first count of the beat, have it click 1 octave above the rest of the counts on each operator like a metronome. you will discover all kinds of crazy patterns that you can then go and relace the clicks with actual sounds..or just keep the clicks if you like the glitchy shit

Generic Drum Tip: Throw an arpeggiator in your midi track for some akai-style retriggering!

Chopping samples into Impulse. Take a drum loop highlight a hit or phrase you like and drag it into Impulse. Move your highlight area to another hit or phrase and do the same Repeat until you have enough. If the sample is a few hits you may need to adjust the Decay amount so it doesn't cut off too short. Now draw in some patterns or use a midi controller to make a banging beat. This can also be done with non drum sounds for that classic Akai hip-hop feel.

depend on what sound you wanna achieve...

for analog (live musician sound) style drums, try to make several samples of one drum (have samples with several velocities if possible - if not, dynamic tube or saturator are good friends in simulating the hardness of the hit). Experiment with the velocities and accents. Possibly, you can pan the drums to achieve the drumset sound.

Hmmm, yesterday I used a vocoder on drum loops (in reason). The results are amazing. :)
