Drum loops are probably good for trying ideas out, but wouldn't work
for much of my stuff. I usually play live with NO metronome so there
are nearly always some speed variations which (in my opinion) gives a
better feel but can be a nightmare to synchronise with anything else.
Once again, thanks everyone for your comments. I think I will stick to
drum-less compositions (which most of my stuff is anyway). Also,
everything on my website is already covered by a Creative Commons 2.5
(attribution, non-commercial) license so you are free to play with my
music anyway.
If anyone is interested in adding drums (or anything else for that
matter). I'm quite happy to send a Rosegarden or plain Midi file
along with the ZynAddSubFX parameter file so that you can re-create
from source.
Thorsten is already having a look at Awakening The Avenger and I look
forward to hearing what he can add to it.
I will, of course, acknowledge any additions to the material I put on
my website.

It is a real struggle for me to achieve anything
at all with this. I
seem to have a complete musical deaf spot when it comes to percussion
and have to do a lot of work for many hours to get anything even
remotely presentable. The result is it always tends to sound rather
laboured.
Use drum loops, or even better do stuff without drums, release it on a free
license and encourage people to do some remixes, you'll probably find plenty
of enthusiasm for that sort of thing here. But play around with Hydrogen too.
Drums are my weak point also, but I find Hydrogen very forgiving of my lack
of talent in this area.
