humanizing drums?

i've went to some sites got some info,,,it's helped,
but i want some cool tricks on how to humanize my patterns.
i've got the basics,,,like velocity,,,,panning,,,etc..
but i haven't really got what i'm looking for...

what i'm trying to get at is
i'm starting to produce hip hop
what i here out there,,,seems to be alot of older sampled drums
i try to play all my patterns rather than sample
also,,,,how do i get the pauses with my mpc

i'm serious about this question,,,so please any help would be appreciated

I don't understand this part ofyour post. Are you saying your not gonna sample drum sounds and your gonna use synthesized drums. Most people don't take the drums off a record then drop them under a sample. What people do is chop the drums of a pattern up then make their own pattern.

nawww,,i'm not gone sample
i'm playing everything
,,and i see what your saying about chopping up the sample
i'm gone have to try that
i'm tryinh to get that feel through banging them out on my mpc

So where are you getting your drum sounds from?

zip disks,,,gotcha noddin,,,,those sample king floppys,,,,i was on the premo kit earlier,,,,i have thousands of sounds,,,i have all of those floppy disks,,and about ten zip disks,,,i have all the sounds,,,i just need guidence on how to create realistic drum patterns,,,out of my sounds

Yo nac, did you mean realistic as in hip-hop beats realistic or as in live drummer realistic?

i want to make my hip hop beats,,more like a live drummer as far as patteren

If youre changing the velocity on different hits youre defintely on the right track. Other than that play with your swing settings and do drum rolls with at least 2-3 different toms. Make sure you have good samples too.

sweeeeeeet dude thanks,,,,i was along those lines
with what i was thinking,,,i just didn't know how to do it or really,,how to word it,,,,

but thanxtho
