How to create drums/textures Thom Yorke-ish

Hi everyone,
I wanted to take advantage of the musical knowledge of the forum, and I’m sure there’s more than one fan here.

I’d like to create rhythms and textures similar to those Thom Yorke generates, mainly in his solo work, but I’m having some difficulties achieving it. Taking songs like Cymbal Rush and Atoms for Peace as examples, could anyone advise me on which direction to take in terms of processing to achieve that kind of groove?

These are some things I understand might be happening, but when I try to recreate them I feel like I end up over-saturating the groove and it doesn’t “breathe” as much:
• In general: variable velocity to humanize the groove and move toward more polyrhythmic feels (removing a kick or snare from the start of the beat).
• Kick: playing with the cut-off and effects on the kick such as reverb and delay? Or is it better to send the audio to another track and apply the effects there? Or not touch it at all?
• Snares with an LFO slightly detuning them and playing with volume?
• Hi-hat: short sounds with LP cut-off modulation, volume, and pan? Also pitch?
• Anything I might be missing that I should take into account?
• Anything else to consider? I think their grooves tend to be fairly minimalist in terms of equipment.

Any additional advice is welcome.

    Download Bleep (free app btw) and press play.
    Add some other app with a kick drum and maybe snare.

    Have fun :)
