[Click here to have a go at this Ableton sequencer](https://learningmusic.ableton.com/the-playground.html). This lets you compose in different layers and use a greater variety of drum samples.

Unfortunately, the Ableton sequencer doesn't let you save your sequence. If you like, you could do an audio recording from another device, maybe voice memo on a phone or a computer.
