JC,
I think in you will see more of these type styles in near future ! The popdown styles are some of my favorites .
I also have been tweeking MS series styles with the SD1 . I always enjoyed the nice bigband styles , acid jazz styles from the older library of Solton are great !
Another idea is utilizing the jump feature .
I would start a intro (just drums) and than jump back to intro of a style . It's pretty interesting to utilize the jump feature with the intro's vs endings . dano
