Yeah, find some other sounds to use instead.
I`ve been getting great top end percussive pleasure from the following.
Air tools (air wrench, air hammer)
Air release (pressure release on hydraulics, hydraulic doors, etc)
Sheet metal.
Scrapes (metal on metal)
Human voice (shush, and tssss)
Dropped metal (spanners, hammers, screws) onto metal sheet.
Car crashes.
Water splashes.
Rain.
Jet engine noise.
And other stuff.
