Using the same method all the time starts to get redundant and your beat making process will probably become cookie-cutter. To answer the other question, I don't always start hats, snare, kicks. Usually I do kicks and snare, and add hats later, or I start out with just hats, add a kick then the snare last or hats, add a snare and add kicks last. Depends on my tempo, mood, and what I am working with.

~Ya It depends on what mood Im in as well! But I still start wit the melody or sample first and then build on it. I notice wit cats that do there drums first all there beats sound the same but wit some of u cats that's prolly not the case since u go back and adjust them to the sample or melody!
