Anyways keep up the amazing work and I hope you are doing well Jacob!

When I started using patterns for the first time (for years I avoided it but I finally learned) I was combining two or more instruments for the drum sounds. Now I'm realizing it might be better to create a pattern for each drum instrument just so I have better control over what comes in and out of the song.
