That is writing them yourself, as opposed to loading them up preprogrammed. Anything you know of besides "work them out by ear"?
I am such a classical guy, this is way outside my wheelhouse, so trying to get better...

I use various versions of EZDrummer, a sample plugin. It does load the loops preprogrammed, but you can use that to better understand how they're put together and adapt them yourself - remove all the hihats, make the snare louder, etc etc. Helps if you can view them on piano roll, but then you could make sense of them on stave as well - in which case, finding drum parts to study is also a good idea. Watch Whiplash, too

I've barely used loops…so I'm no help to you there.. but I wonder if you could describe what you're looking for - stylistically (broadly, of course… or not) or what kind of percussion? (types of drums, mallets, tabla, doumbek , conga, trap set, disco, speed metal?.... or...Neil Pert:) ?

Thanks, Dave. I downloaded the demo and it's pretty good.
G, this is specifically for a jazzy, orchestral score like The Incredibles, but it's something I always struggle with regardless of genre...

Hey John…'incredibles' theme reminds me of Mancini.. The drum part doesn't seem too involved.. but (as I've worked w drummers) drummers do indeed have their own special world - of rhythm…. (they think non drummers are really lacking in rhythm development:).. anywho… I found the score to the incredibles.. w percussion!, and thought this might help quite a bit www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGgDDg_O7NQ
