Wild drumloops

This drumloop is one of the strangest I've composed. It is done through Omnisphere and FL Studio 10. The sound that you hear is several long rubber-bands connected to a metallic Dumbek. The sound is further processed via FM synthesis. The FM depth and frequency is constantly randomized which leads to this sound's vibrating and warped feeling. This sound came out of a lucky accident. I was looking for something entirely different. When I'm testing new waveforms I have 4 quarters laid down so I can hear the sound as soon as it is loaded. So when I heard that the note FL played had a certain rhythmic property then I had to exploit the sound to the fullest. This is the result!
