Create your arrangement and drum track similar to above and copy the drum track into the copy buffer. Most sequencers can do this via the copy buffer. This also works to "punch up" Band-in-a-Box generated sequences. You can also combine Instant Drum Patterns with an existing sequence.
If you want to create totally original patterns try the step entry mode of your sequencer. You can use our patterns as a basic guide and modify the patterns for even more variety. It is much easier to play syncopated rhythm parts with the Instant Rap Drum Patterns as the metronome rather than a conventional MIDI or audio metronome. After you have the drum track add bass, other rhythm instruments and the rest of your parts. Once your song track is completed, you can either delete or mute the original tracks from Instant Drum Patterns. Make sure you change the file name so you don't overwrite the original Instant Drum Pattern file.
Most sequencers have a measure view where you can copy and paste entire measures, check your particular software manual for instructions. Select the measures you want and copy them to unused tracks or at the end of our patterns in the desired order. To create the actual rhythm track you copy and paste in the measure view of your sequencer. The introduction and ending are usually handled separately. Often those sections can be repeated to form the entire the song. When you are done you should have a percussion arrangement for one time through the verse and chorus. Next figure out where your fill patterns will be and the Instant Drum Pattern fills you want at each location. Jot down the measure numbers you want to use. Audition the drum patterns and select the style and alternate beats you like. The first step is to write your arrangement. Once you have the patterns setup you're ready create a custom rhythm track with your sequencer. An easy way to do it is to transpose the entire track. If your percussion sound source does not use General MIDI mapping you will need to transpose each track for the proper drum sound.
