Trance snare fills.

I'm just loooking for some advice on snare roll and fills for trance music. In particular what sort of pattern am I looking for ?

Snare rolls, 32 16th notes increasing in velocity

Hmm, I thought they may be like that, but sometimes they seema little more comlicated ?

Did you get that trance book?

Yes, I did. but id doesn't actually show any patterns. The Sonar session on the disk is entirely audio and there is no midi example on the disk (except maybe in a Apple Logic file).

I import a snare into an audio track, copy and paste is every 16 or 32 of a measure.  That way, they all keep there tails.  These drum machine players can't seem to play these fast snare patterns without cutting off the decay. So, the player starts to play the sample before it has time to finish playing it or so I would assume.  Then once you get your repetitions however long you want them, you simply write record a smidgen of volume automation then go back and edit your nodes for a volume swell.  This isn't so bad until trying to use your fills with different tempos.

Maybe there is a better way but when I'm using Battery the snare fills sound like machine gun fire and nothing like a drum fill.
