you could use the same categories for instruments that you have in your
samples section...

I think that might be confusing - maybe one shot samples could go into
the samples section? drum fills will generally loop - many great drum
tracks have been programmed entirely from drum fills :) . What i'm
trying to say is that its a fine line between a drum fill and a drum
beat, so fills could go in loops.

One problem
that needs to be solved is how to attach these kinds of
metadata to a loop.
