That being said, avoid repeating something too many times without introducing new material. Use repetition to reinforce your musical ideas.For example: a snare part playing straight 16th notes would fit nicely overtop a dotted eighth and 16th note pattern in the bottom bass drum. Example: a snare part that moves from eighth notes to 16th notes could be paired with a tenor part that moves from 16th notes to eighth notes. For example, a tenor part that is in unison with the snare part rhythmically, but adds “rounds” (playing on different drums). Try copying the rhythm note-for-note into another instrument.
Consider making it a solo for that instrument, and just fill in some sparse accompaniment parts.If you have a good idea for one instrument, but not much going on in the other three parts, here are some ideas to help fill out your score: Don’t be afraid to let your musical ideas grow where they want to. Or maybe your 2-4 bar transitional idea evolves into a new idea of its own and becomes a 16-bar phrase. This could be as simple as writing a 2-4 bar transition between two unrelated ideas, with the transitional material borrowing concepts from each idea. If you like all of the ideas, then it’s time to find what does connect those ideas musically, and develop more similar content to bridge the gaps. So now your score has a bunch of ideas that don’t necessarily connect to each other in any meaningful way.
