Patterns sync and best practice

Hey,
I am learning how to make patterns with the Pdef and Pseq.  I was
reading someones example code yesterday for making a drum pattern.  He
made arrays to keep the multiple patterns in sync.
Ex:

a and b would be values for the amplitude of the notes.


snare
a = [0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1];

bass drum
b= [0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0];

etc....

but i was wondering if this is the best way to do this?  It seems to me
that it is a sort of hack to keep them in sync together when in reality
you are still processing the sounds.  Is there another way to sync up
multiple patterns where there are parts that are silent and parts that
are sounding.

If you were to get rid of the redundant notes - Obviously this wouldn't
work


snare
a = [1,1];

bass drum
b= [1,1];


Thanks,
Jason
