The other interesting thing (to me) about Suburban Summer Evening Back Porch Riff is how I work the drums.
I've taken separate snares, high hats and kicks and layered them. So "snare 1" starts, "high hat 1" comes in, "kick 1" comes in - everything plays together then "snare 1" drops out and "snare 2" starts, then "high hat 1" drops out and "high hat 2" starts, then "kick 1" drops out and "kick 2" starts, then everything "2" plays together and the process repeats with "3", "4", etc.
On top of that, I do my trademark "chopping" of the loops in a certain pattern that repeats itself over each loop (snare, high hat and kick). Basically:
(1) the loop plays once straight (its 1st iteration), then
(2) I chop out the 3rd section of the loop in its 2nd iteration, then
(3) I repeat the first quarter of the 1st section of the loop 4 times where the 3rd section of the loop would be in its 3rd iteration, then
(4) I repeat the last half of the last quarter of the loop twice in its 4th iteration - after which I drop the loop and don't reuse it.
