3) Play with the filters or EQ of hits.  This is especially noticeable 
with hihats and snares.  A heavy hit will be fully bright but a light hit 
will be much duller sounding.  You will want to tweak the filtering for 
each note, once
again keeping the bars longer to keep from being noticeable.

>>>Setting up a Patchcord to control VEL-> FiltFreq will save you loads of 
time on this one.  In fact I belive most of the Preset already have knob 
dedicated to just this. <<<

10)  Take a sample of live drums, EQ out the kick and low tom then play 
this over your drum lines.  This will add a live drum sound without 
clobbering your original feel.  Make sure you add this to the ambient 
reverb to make it sound in place with the rest of the kit.

>>>Also, try pulling out the snare too.  That way you get just the "feel" 
from the loop, without worrying about your snares and BD's clashing. <<<

Woohoo!  Those are all the ones I can think of, I'm sure everyone has 
their own
tricks and are willing to share... 

>>>I try my hardest to make my tracks as complex and unrealistic as 
possible,so I don't have more to add! :) <<<
