Well, if you want to do nice drums, you have to practice. Starting with a
drum pattern is easier than adding it later on.
Using chromatic sounds in a very groove oriented way, that is playing them
almost like percussion, might help you.
But otherwise ... don't do it if it's all work and no fun. You managed
to make some very nice drum-less tracks ;)
