I'd like to see some handclaps in the realdrums section or even as a percussive instrument. Maybe 3 or 4 different ones (few hands, more hands - every beat, twice every bar, every bar once).

You can roll your own handclaps if you have the ability to record. Here's a link to show you how to do it.

Heck everyone can clap their hands! Setup a mike, hit record and clap away. Make two or three tracks of it, then clone them and before you know it. Dang guys let's not forget to be creative ourselves!! Make your own and then make acidized loops out of them, and save them cut them up and use them over and over.
One time when i was about 9 I complained to my mom that a piece of meat was to hard to cut up, she repied, " you want to to chew it for you too?" Heck if you can't clap your hands you might want to try another hobby!
Just sayin'

That was kind of my point. Create your own and install the track in the RD system. Then they are always available without having to re-record.

Heck - you're right! I didn't even think of that  The other day I was 'constructing' a track and thought by myself it would be nice to have handclaps (well, the kind of electronic ones that used to be popular some years ago). I even thought it would be quite difficult to create RealTracks that have the exact feel one is looking for (I also searched in Samplitude if there's some looped Handclaps)! It didn't even occur to me to record the handclaps exactly as I want them to be. Stupid me  After all, I have a 'Band in a Box' and I've gotten so used to go and look for all the good things in there... Cheers folks, I shall go and record some handclaps to the tune, overdub a couple of times, add reverb and EQ as needed and I'm sure we'll have another masterpiece

An additional percussive track - that can be muted or not aside from the drums - for many styles would be a great addition the vary the compositions!!!

If you are not satiesfied with "Do it yourself" you have to look quite a bit to find a descent handclap for gospel and pop - the best ones I have found so far is in Fab Four and for solo handclap in one of the EZ Drums series (if I recall correctly it was in Claustrophobic when you hit out on the sleave)...

Or google "handclap wav" (no quotes). There are many free ones up there.
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

I'm surprised this thread surfaced again. Thank you all for your advice.
Daniel
BTW I have the 'Fab Four' sitting on a harddrive (only used some organ so far). I'll check the handclaps. Didn't complete the other tune as yet. There's so many tunes I've started and only some are nearing completion.
