What up FP?

Whare are some ideas to spice up a 4 bar sample flip?

Say I chop a sample and flip it into a nice 4 bar loop, I've added a few one shots with delays chopped from the same sample and got my drums down.

Now I want to arrange and lay the foundation of the beat down, what r some fresh and cool ideas to keep the beat interesting?

I know drum pattern changes, and drops, and modulation etc, but any other ideas?

Thanks
 
For this particular beat I was working on, it was a hip hop track where I used a Jazz sample and chopped it up. It has a very chill mellow Jazzy boom bap type of feel to it.
 
have it looped 4 times, so it's the same loop 4 times in a row. play it and imagine what you would add to it to make it more interesting, try adding a reversed cymbal on beat 4.3.1 or something like that. take what your favorite artists do and try and emulate what they do to make it interesting and then add a bit of your own personal flavor to it
 
Thanks for the responses, all been helpful. Sometimes you need a little input to get going.
