Doesnt seem like tuts are focused on sharing creative ideas more so they are on achieving instant success with someone elses sounds, You should try what I've been doing and see if it helps spark ideas. I like to A/B with a favorite track of mine when I finally go into mixing to get ideas of structure.

Basicly load up the mp3 of the tune next to yours and scope out the structure to see how they build/release tension

Yeah, I get what you're saying, I was just looking for something explaining the alternating of synths/basses. but so rapidly. Thanks for your advice. Basically using a track as a reference.

I apologize if this thread is dead X)
But I have to give a little tip that i've used with pretty great results.
What I do, before I make a drop, I listen to what I have. Usually there's a kind of "ah ha" moment where your mind kind of put's the bass drop there, or you have an idea of what you want it to sound like.
from there, i just record myself making the sounds that I want the drop to sound like. Essentially "singing" the drop.
Waaaahhhh wubwubwubwub byyaaaaahhh yayayaya... you get it, that way I can just use the recording as a reference and I'll have a great drop of exactly what I imagined.
Of course this only works if you kind of have an idea of what it should sound like before you make it. We all know how to make a drop in our minds, but getting it in the daw is harder. Basically, it's all easier said than done, so say it first :D
Hopefully this helps, it's helped me.

*Edit*
Here's a track I've used this with. It's not the best track, but the drop is exactly what I "sung"

Check out my signature track.
I've been working on exactly what you're speaking of for quite awhile.
I believe I'm getting there.
Let me know.
I realize it needs some mastering .

I also feel like a nice phat subbass underneath the drop sounds will help bring them together.
