So I can see how revamping the drums after the fact could get interesting, although this isn't something I've played around with a lot yet.
This is one of the things I am thinking about when I start longing for the ability to make DB a MIDI slave or master. Since I'm definitely not a drummer -- and barely a guitarist :) -- I tend to come up with guitar riffs, and then slowly put the rest of the song together (lyrics last :) So, I would love to be able to rough out a basic drum line for my song, record the guitar part, and _then_ go back and sort out the drums -- tweak the fills and stuff like that -- without changing the length or tempo, just the patterns. I'll suddenly realize "Oooh, I shouldn't have put that cymbal there" or "Ooooh, that fill would sound better like X", and right now I have to regenerate the AIFF file, play it onto my VS-1680 (on different tracks than the original drum part), and then manually nudge the new recording to line up with original. Ah, how fine it would be to just change the pattern in DB and hit "go", letting Mr. MIDI-thingy handle the syncing! Someday, p'raps.
