Let it add a few beats here and there, semi randomly, but sensibly like a drummer would do. Let it add ghost notes like the stick hitting a second time softly behind the first beat. It adds a lot of realism. There was a program along time ago called (IIRC) Jazz++ that had some sort of drum programming language that could do this sort of stuff. While it sounds crazy I use Groove Agent which does an excellent job of htis sort of thing. Just some thoughts. cheers, Mark
