Left hand technique in drop thumb

$

I'm practicing integrating drop thumb with the traditional bum ditty pattern practicing patterns like bum-ditty-ditty-ditty-bum-ditty etc....  On the regular bum ditty I like an active left-hand and like to do things like a constant hammer-on to make a bumpa-ditty-bumpa-ditty kind of thing.  When I'm performing drop thumb I can't quite figure out how to work in left hand techniques, it seems like too many notes.  It could be I don't have the timing internalized or perhaps this is just not done.  Are hammer-on/pull-offs while in a drop/double thumb pattern generally done?
