Hey yea guys..

I'm looking for various drum patterns(or is it called riffs?) for all sorts of music written in either notation form, made in guitar pro or fruity loops.
Fills.. All for fruity loops - all the fills I make in fl sound horrible.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide. :)

well for you're general easy fills you could do
1. starting on count 4. just for 16th note snare hits (4e&a)
2.Starting on count 3 . 2 hits on the snare, the small tom, hte middle tom and the floor tom (3e&a4e&a) obviously again in sixteenth notes.
3. Unison hits on the floor tom and snare, eight notes (4 &), you can also throw in the bass on (e and a)
for more intermediate type fills you can throw in accents or triplets and stuff
just a general rule for somebody like you who's obviously just begining to experiment with drums, a good rule of thumb would be to normally start on the snare and end on the floor tom and just make it fit....you don't have to do it like that but that's what's going to generally sound best...it doesn't seem as if you have had much experience with drums therefore experimenting with them would be harder for you cuz you don't play

Well it is in my blood though I think... My dad, my lil and big bro are all drummers - so I got the ear for it. :)
Oh, and thanks for the few inputs - I'm sure I can use some of it. :D

Do you need them made , or do you just need suggestions?

Any would do - whatever you feel you have the time for. If made though, I only need short ones so that I can expand them myself to fit the various songs I'm making. I would prefer either notations, tabs or suggestions though or I'll just end up going lazy. :p

Cool thread, thanks a bunch. :)

I still could use some rythms though.. What I really would love is the tab for funk rythms and a few jazzy ones would be nice to. :)

Ps
Don't really understand the time though.. :x
