Sometimes a drum beat thrives on having the snare or rim or whatever sound is playing the backbeat; play on beats 2 and 4. This makes so many styles groove, especially house music. But in this track I found that between the synth chord stabs and the drums there wasn't enough interplay. To make the drum groove add more to the musical conversation I shifted the snare on beat 4 so that it happens an eighth note later on the & of beat 4. This created a kind of broken house beat and set the overall track up to be more nimble as it wasn't locked down by the backbeat.
