Yes, a bit of percussion in the background and doing small solos and stuff to let it shine and then maybe a percussive groove in the background. Is it possible to initiate time mistakes and the power of notes in effort to mimic a live instrument? Like the percussion guy with Ahmad Jamal... He has roots in percussion for several decades. I'm thinking use these sort of sounds of percussion or other suitable ones to sweeten the emotional response to your music. As Bangra, progressive rock and some jazz does sound good mixed together so to could this.
This one shows the palette of the percussionist.
