I think it's just an Amen drumloop, you can d/l a nice pack of them here - http://www.breakbeat-paradise.com/bb_download.php?sampleid=538

you can do that with pretty much any sliced break. find one you like, load it into slice x and go to town. i would suggest a wav file. mp3 works too though.

I'll try to recreate it for you, but like I said earlier I really think that it's a sampled loop, or at least a manipulated sample.  I tried for a long time to create Amen DNB type loops manually and I just gave up and started using loops for DNB.  I found it impossible to recreate that kind of thing manually.  I'm not saying I can't manually make DNB drum beats, but that certain kind such as the one you posted, I really think it's impossible.  Why do you think Amen loops were so popular to begin with?

But anyhoo now that I sampled that loop for you, what I will do is open it in Audacity, slow the tempo way down and try reproduce it in FLS.

EDIT: forget it. LOL  This is either a sampled drum loop or it's a loop that's been sliced and diced and chopped and etc., they are just too hard to recreate, it's not worth it.  I mean I'm sure there are people out there who could do it, but it would be painstaking work with quantizing and different snap settings and.... BAH it's just not worth it.  Trust me, Pendulum did not make that drum loop manually in a DAW.  Actually Pendulum has a live drummer don't they? It can be very difficult to recreate all of the little tempo quirks and time shifts of a live drum riff by programming in a sequencer, in fact I think it can be pretty much impossible sometimes.
