hi-hat sequence. The hi-hat part is easy to make variations to once 
you know what you want. In most case I'll randomize the quantization 
within 10 to 15%. And then after that do accents, by maxing on the 
beat I'd like the hi-hat to be loud.

This depends on if I'm doing some drum n bass stuff or not. Rock stuff 
is mostly in this 1-and-3 fashion.

using the Event float.

That would be too time consuming for me, I think. But it's whatever it 
takes to get it right. I'd like to hear some things that you done that 
way, to see for myself what the end result is. Maybe you can put 
something up at Rocket, that is a good example of what you get 
doing it that way.
