Drum Loop 1B

Since this was my first loop, I really over did it at first with sounds. The beginning was actually made on my second time. To start off this loop, I listened to some of the pre-made loops and decided that I liked the sound of the bongo-like drums. The closest I could come were the toms, and these are used throughout it. The fill in the middle has a soft woodblock sound which I like. I wanted to contrast the “A” part and made the "B" part lighter and almost bell-like with a simple quarter note pattern. The fill after this was fun to make with the main structure made of claps. I’m not sure how many people end on a fill, but if the loop looped, the “A” part is too long to handle. Enjoy and please critique!
