thanks, and i was thinking of what you suggested and as far as that, like really, even with some of the new percussion loops as far as the clapping, there was really nothing else that fit in the kind of song that i was going for, although if you could find one for me that would keep the same aspect of the song then please send it to me, but i was in a rut. Because as you know, it could certainly be an r&b song simply by getting a cross-stick sound for the claps. But i really appreciate your input and i will take deep thought into what you said on my next beat.
