as a drummer this is what is called a flam typically done on a snares and toms but can be used on any drum or percussion. if your drum machine has a flam feature then u can use that. if u r using a mpc. strike a single pad with 2 fingures but start one of your fingers about an inch and a half higher than the other. if u r using 2 different claps put them in pads that r next to eachother and do the same method above just space your fingers so that you hit both pads. this way works best and u don't have to shift notes or use delays.

I guess everybody has their own methods. Anyways, it doesn't really matter. Whatever works...works!
