How do I get good sounding minimal percussion (if that's the right term) like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmIzfp2Q_kU&t=145s
It feels like I'm getting what I want when I work with a single drum, but putting them together they always feel far too heavy.

Looking for a couple sounds from this track: https://soundcloud.com/kpdrecords/02-1
First the short drum sequence appearing at 0:45 and 0:55. Have a feeling this might just be "pick the right samples and reverb correctly", but I'll ask anyways.
Second is the echoing sound at 3:29, 3:40; I'm not really sure where to start with that.

Trying to find the percussion sound found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzr7wrSg1T4&t=169s
Tried a few samples with various effects, but haven't come remotely close.

How do I make ambientish pads? (e.g. the beginning of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HITef7mIJ8)
I know there are tons of presets everywhere, but I kinda want to know what to think about wthen trying to make my own.
Mainly use Operator if it matters.

Thanks for the tips. I think the issue I was having was not using any sort of unison/detuning and trying to just make everything somehow work by managing to get just the right FM combo.
Also thought LFOing everything would be a pain, but then noticed Max (which I've kinda ignored) can do it very easily.
I'll keep messing around and see what I can build up with these newly discovered tools.
