And is the sole drum loop here (starts at 1:55 but the video should autoseek that cue point):
I'm wondering if it's just a preset loop on one of the old Roland drum machines (even if it is, there's got to be a way to recreate it, right?), or if it can come from compressing a drum loop? I like this type of drum loop because it sounds punchy, and has low mid-range, it doesn't hurt the ears.
