The original conditional sequence was all random percentages however this was a bit too IDM. The X:Y conditional trigs provide a foundation on which the random elements can be added.

The CH and OH can be interchanged as required.
The occasional snare could be at reduced volume.

I was having trouble comprehending this thread. I finally get it. Definitely need to try this out
If you need more details just drop a comment.
Hey, would you be willing to go into more detail about how you’re collecting the data, and how you make the calculations?
I am really bad at math, but it’s something I hope to improve on in my adulthood. So I may just not be grasping this.
Thank you for the beats, and spending time to share this. I think it’s so cool, and I love testing different kits out on these.
Thank you
From this score:
I count the times a drum hits on the 1 to 16 steps over the 4 to 8 bars. So if a kick occurs 6 times on beat 9 over the 8 bars then the percentage is 75%. So the notation would be 9@75.
Sometimes pattens emerge so hits depending on previous hits occurring (PRE) or not occurring (_PRE) are added, the same for neighbour (NEI) or not (_NEI).
It’s also worth checking for repetitions so X:Y (2:3) conditionals can be included which add to the framework.
The actual drum score may have more drum artefacts like accents , ghost notes, buzzed snares.
I leave that to users to added variations that work for their productions.
The source work is “The Breakbeat Bible” by Mike Adamo:
The drum key is:
I find this type of score adds complexity to comprehension and while it can be learnt there should be better diagrams.

In the example BT is used instead of BD, LT in place of SD as the lower machines are set up as bass.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your process.
This is really creative of you. Also, your awesome for posting all of this info!
Thank you for helping me out, and for the inspiration.
Just stumbled across this - really like it, going to give it a try. Maybe I’ll add a little LFO on velocity here and there too 
@tladb thank you SO MUCH for this thread! I just got the “The Breakbeat Bible” book, very focused to drummers (which I definitely ain’t) so your thread and technique came at the exact right timing for me. Excited to try this out, pretty clever way to use the sequencer, even got me to finally understand a proper usage for NEI and _NEI 
Dang I never heard of the break beat bible.
Definitely need that.
Also need to try the stuff suggested in this thread and try to add my own.
Do you mean OH 2@_NEI and OH 5@_NEI?
Amazing Thread…!
These pattens can be just the start for your own creative modifications.
Typo. The line should OH 5@_NEI, 13@_NEI.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I appreciate the comment.
It sometimes takes me a while to work out the placement with the transcriptions in the BBB. I usually start with the hats and then the other elements.
These pattens are taken from the Breakbeat Transcriptions chapter starting on page 132. There are plenty of shorting pattens thought the book that can be used straight.
Thanks for the reply.
I am pleased the thread is of assistance.

In the audio example KD 1 is at 10O to get a definite down beat. The patten can become too random so some certainty could be added be added for the kicks and snares.
