Help understanding this type of drum/percussion

[pariah223]

I dont know why i have so much trouble wrapping my head around it, but for years now ive always loved movie sound tracks and i notice a lot of bands incorporate that type of percussion into there music wether it be for intros, or little bridges in songs. Its loaded with what seems like hundreds of random hits but is very fluid and i am interested in trying to get into this style of writing because im kind of getting tired of the usual drums guitars bass stuff. Since i know none of what i just said made sense, let me post a link to a band that has it in an intro. What im basically looking for is tutorials, or guides or what the style is actually even called. Ive played around with syths but without just using precanned samples i have no idea where to even start.. Here is an example.. the first like 10 seconds

90% of that stuff is straight from loop libraries.

Stylus RMX is what you are looking for. I'd guess that literally everyone who does movie trailers uses Stylus. If not they'd really be stupid because it makes everything so easy ...

Those most part really are sample library, if only guy who produce that isn't genious.
But you'll get there already if you would get - heavyocity damage, Heavyocity Evolve 1 and 2. Those are made for things you want.

That sounds like Stylus RMX. It's like a sequencer type thing with all sorts of groove options and junk. Check it out!

I think it just uses loops and varied delays to produce random variations and whatnot. I'm sure tons of dance and/ or ambient guys use it.
