Depending on the structure of the beat, a good percentage of drum loops
can be aligned at whole octaves (i.e. playing at C4 and C5) so that the
slower one starts every other time the faster one does...i know the cat's
already out of the bag, i've heard this on the We record for example, but
it's still always fun to play with...
