You need to change it at least 20% to avoid being sued, they also can’t mistake yours for the original. If you avoid these you’re golden.

How do you measure a rip-off percentage?

I’ll give a perfect example, Dr. Dre would always change the octave of other artists music. He uses the drums for when the levee breaks by led zeppelin on Lyrical Gangbang and wasn’t sued. Also credit any artist if you make money. If you don’t make money you’re fine.

I’ve used other bands drums on songs and never had a problem. A lot of producers share samples since it makes life so much easier. Nickelbacks drums are fantastic to use
