Do u guys use -

[nutrinoland]

Do u guys tend to use ready made drumloops (maybe layer a few together) or do u slice up the loops and use them or do u program u'r own drums and percussion from scratch ?

my percussion is usually not worked on much cause i tend to use ready loops...i wanna make great percussion in my tracks....

what are some methods of improving that area of production ?
should i learn some drum theory ?
also how can i make the percussion powerful so it stands out...?

thanks
