The one thing that you can't beat (if you will pardon the pun) is a Live Drummer! At the moment, I am using loops of various sorts, plus occasionally don't add a drum track, because I can't find one to fit.
Are there any drummers out there that would be prepared to work on collaborations? You can find samples of my music here :
