I use sample offset command 09xx to tear apart a loop and recreate it in my own style. One thing Octamed had though was in the sample editor you would select what you wanted to 09xx and it would copy to the clipboard. Renoise is annoying in that you have to guestimate but whatevs, I was doing the same shite on the amiga in 1992, that feature was makin me lazy besides. Sample offset the loops, have a healthy collection of standard breaks from 79-180 bpm and you should be set. In the end all you need is a standard kit, and the roland sounds, maybe the amen and mule beats and go nuts unless you’re doing country/western/polka in which case ignore everything I said and sample yourself beating your children over the heads.
