beats!?
I would second Lafirin's suggestion--start simple and add to it--but make sure you have it down before you try impressing anyone with it...and if you have access to beats (written or recorded) that inspire you, listen and review them.
No matter what you do, make sure you're comfortable with them before introducing them to others...if you're uptight about how they sound, it's going to show in your playing...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
