I'm trying to write some drum parts for a song I'm working on and I can't seem to get the right tempo's for my beats. AS you all know, in metal there's a few types of 'fast' beats.
1. fast thrash/skank beat. used by slayer and a million hardcore and metal bands like at the gates.
2. Slightly faster Blackmetal blast. This is the same beat just slightly sped up. used by bands like sacramentum, necophobic and a lot of black metal bands.
3. full out blast--same beat, just sped up even more so.
The problem is that when I try to write a song on drums I can only get two beats to work/flow properly (1, and 3, because this is 8th to 16th), but unable to accomplish the 2nd type because there's not really an appropriate timing setting available..
in this file I have included the 3 types I am referring to made in fruity loops:

I've tried importing the different waves in to acid pro so that I could work around this issue, but its extremely tedious to go back and fourth and it didn't sound very natural.
I have this same problem when I play drums to a metronome actually, the 8th notes on a 250bpm click sound right (or 125 depending on how you look at it), and so do the 16ths, but I can't seem to figure out how to get in that slightly faster skank/black metal beat on a metronome.
Any suggestions?
