i will make a drum kit, and set up my pads so i have all the sounds where i want them. i will just play bd, and snares live, but keep the same high hat that was playing over my 4/4. i will also do bongo hits on the spot too. i usualy do this about 8-16 measures before a breakdown...adds a little drama. i do also use pads to trigger loops. but i am all about the IMPROV. if i ever play in chicago, i will keep in my mind whats hot there...another great reason for RPS, and storing extra patterns...you never know what the crowd will be like, especially in other cities.
