I love the redrum. Its where I start most of my tunes, if looking for inspiration. You can make patterns so quickly and easily once you know how...

Make sure you have it loaded up with good samples first and foremost.
I posted up complete roland, yamaha & boss kits not so long back - have a dig about on this forum and download them if you haven't already.

Try hooking up a matric pattern sequencer to the panner. Program in a panning pattern and hook it up to a click or a slap sound, or maybe to some high hats. Now maybe route the newly panned sound out into a delay or a reverb unit.
Route your high hats, rides and cymbals into a reverb unit then onto a new channel. Try routing all your hihats and cymbals into a submixer and then applying compression to all of them as a group.

Basically use the redrum to keep your patterns and trigger your samples, but route everything out of it into some effects. That is truly the beauty of reason - you can just keep adding and linking effects.

Keep playing! Redrum is a powerful tool capable of proucing cracking results.
