Add some not standard percussion loops in your project. And DELAY effect makes percussion parts more intelligence! (not use with KICKdrum)
Trance is not only KICK, OPENHAT, CLAP, CLOSED HAT , RIDE <- they are basics, plus few more layers of different percussion effects, loops etc.

Thanx for ya reply, Sebraa. The problem is, that professsionals got some standard percussions, which sound good, even when they are played alone. I wish, I could also have such cool samples. But if I would sample those percussions, I had to "steal" the complete perc set or they won't fit together.

I'm somehow not able to evaluate, whére which percussion instrument needs which support, boost or cut. But if anyone else makes some changes to my percussions, I hear the difference and why it is better.

Stupid, isn't it?

As sebraa said loops work wonders but some times even adding in a Sound fx loop with reverb works great even adding some hi hats with the volume cut to abot 40% with reverb and delay work wonders same for things like toms and all other types of insturements like wood block shakers etc make trance tracks great sometimes.

cool percussions is all about how all the samples, patterns, FX and sounds fit together... experiencing.. loops often is a great fundamental for a good percussion set
