Hi Good point about the gates I often use the gate on my Alesis 3630 set fully over to mutate skippy breaks into nice little steppers by totally removing the quiet bits, so i could try layering sections of differently treated breaks behind the main bass kick and snares, then getting some crisp percussion to liven things up - hey, this could work....
