Eh, fwiw, I'm enjoying it, been in a bit of a slump and there's some good suggestions. It reminded me of one of my old tricks for coming up with interesting beats: the coin flip. I'd take some graph paper, assign each row "kick", "snare"', etc, then literally flip a coin for each square, heads being a hit, tails being a rest. Then I'd copy that into my dr-5 or whatever beat making software I was using. Sometimes it would sound like a hot mess, but sometimes it would come up with a nice chunk that I could expand on.

I used to use graph paper index cards for this and flip coins on my lunch breaks. Good way to make use of dead time and have a handy project to work on as soon as I got home. An icebreaker, so to speak. One of my albums has a whole track done in this way, oh-so-creatively called "Index Card". (I really suck at coming up with good song titles.)
