Also, make sure the preset you are using is not program for these fluctuations....it is actually easy to program using the modulation matrix and is sometimes a desired effect to "humanize" a drum preset....it can also be created with a slow/S&H phase summing effect such as phase shifter that sums a phase/time shifted version of the signal with the original....this will give the sonic appearance of a fluctuations in amplitude at each beat....

  There's plenty of things that affect volume. Try a factory preset, or a different factory preset (i.e. not one of the user presets). Try erasing all events on the track (if you have 2.0, the shortcut is to hold the erase button and press the track button for the track you'd like to delete). You could twiddle the main volume knob in the event that it's got a dirty contact (unlikely). Check your master effects. Try putting the drums on a different track to see if that makes a difference.

  Thanks for your reply, Yes, these are emtpy sequences, so they don't 
  have any knob data but I did delete all controller data anyway to 
  check. This happens even with inputting notes by grid recording. 
  even with the velocity at max the volume still fluctuates. There is 
  no visual change of velocity on the screen either. I cant even call 
  the changes random as it seems to be 2.5 bars input volume then a 
  couple bars with a spike in volume. I haven't checked every present 
  but it appears this is only happening with drums.
