Guru and Ableton both have nice features that let you easily undo entire loops of overdubs on drums. You can lay down a basic beat, then easily try out different percussion riffs over the top and undo each new take with one key.
At first I missed this in Orion, since undo just undoes the last note, but then I realized I could get the same functionality by just copying the core pattern with Ctrl-C, then overdubbing and using Ctrl-C again to "commit" the loop and Ctrl-V to undo the last several passes and go back to the last good loop. This is actually better in some ways than the Guru/Ableton approach because you have a lot of control over exactly what stage to revert to.
I guess this is just a nice side effect of the way Orion's Ctrl-C command works on entire patterns by default.

overdubbing drum loopsIndeed. I usually just start with a BD/SD rythem, copy that to A2 add the HH, copy A2 to A3 and add claps and zaps whatever. copy that to A4 add my rolls, and so on. Regardless of the song or style, I got a good idea what patterns would be good for the breaks, roll into the chorus, and just lay in those A2's for the verses. Any variances of HH or rolls etc. I just copy the intial A4 to B4, and know from the drop down in song if and where I have other choices if I don't like the particular roll at hand and so on.
And if anything gets botched during recording, simply A3 CTRL+C, A4 CTRL+V, and get that beat right!
