A lot of jungle beats come from messing around with the sampler, and it's
stuff you can do as well:
1. Get some fly slammin loop off of an old hip hop loop.
2. Time compress it so it's at the tempo of your choice (like 160bpm.
3. Make a bunch of sampler patches that start at different points in the
loop.
4. Trigger different parts of the loop for different durations, at different
points in them measure.
Do get all those bastard drum rolls:
1. Cut individual hits out of the loop.
2. Construct a new sample by triggering the individual loop on every 16th note
and resampling it.
3. Time compress the 16th note roll by 1/2 to get 32nd note roles.
4. set up sample looping so that the roll repeats from key down to key up.
5. Record in MIDI, alternating between the 16th note roll and the 32nd note
roll.
Now with those two techniques, come up with a bunch of 4 bar patterns of
the classic 3-bars-of-repeat+one-of-fill sort... throw it all together
and release it on Metalheadz ;-)
