Sample loops starting with the snare

Hi all

I have a number of sample chops starting from the snare, as there is no kick.

Would I stretch and loop the samples to my target bpm from snare to snare then just reteospectively record in a new kick.

Would it be easier to work using the first snare is a beat before the first bar?

Any tips greatly welcomed

Thanks

It depends on the loop. Some drum loops sound better with the snare as the loop starting point, mostly due to a very busy rhythm etc. Try both and obv use the one that loops without clicks or sounds unnatural
