Tek's got some good information there, Kush.

Another thing to consider about the rhythm of your music.

Drums keep the beat. Like Tek said, they can be fancy and full of fills or straight forward and simple. But don't forget the bass! The bass accentuates the drums to the 'nth degree. The bass almost unconditionally plays off the drums.

As well, regarding drum samples and loops.... your editing software should allow you to change the tempo of any drum loop. It's pretty hard to find exactly the beat in the tempo you want. So if you find a beat that you like but it isn't the tempo (speed) you want, you can change the tempo to suit your needs. Don't be shy about experimenting with drum samples and loops.
