I spent some more time with the idea

Track 3, 'Swan Song' Drum Kit
from the last two days, and this is the result thus far. Having added some more drums, I'm starting to think that I should just use those, and try and create something entirely different with the other instruments. Track 3 is an entirely new track, and uses a kit called 'Swan Song'. It provides a pretty heavy kick and distorted snare sound on the 4th beat of every 1st and 3rd measure. There is also another snare/clap sound, which mirrors rimshot sounds in the 606, and sounds a lot more interesting. Pretty much everything else is the same, though I did move some of the bass line around, as a couple notes came in an 1/8th beat early, and I fixed where the glides happened, moving them later in each bar, which worked better. There are a bunch of little audio clips grouped together toward the end, which are used for transitions accents. Track 16 is the last new thing, which adds a LABS piano sound, playing the line below. I don't hate this, and think maybe I'll try and use more piano if I choose to try and start with just the drums. I'll keep listening to this and see where I think it can go; I like the idea, but it still feels a little odd to me, not cohesive enough, so hopefully I can get over that hurdle in the next iteration.
