A story that is on the same line is that (The Police Drummer) Stewart
Copeland spent a lot of the post-Police time doing highly-paid studio
jobs where he would record hihat parts against the repetitive accuracy
of the drums of a Linndrum.
Of course, it also works if you just slightly change the drums (more
specifically: the snare): a much-used approach in Drum'n'Bass/IDM is to
also use a steady, programmed groove (with all the individual samples
sampled from a boutique jazz or funk record), but while using the very
same hihat and bassdrum sample all the time, using a great variety of
different snare drum samples from throughout the song/album.
