So, after banging my head trying to make good drum tracks on my X8, I've all but given up. two questions:
1) Can anybody point me in a good direction for aquireing some skill in this area?
2) Can anybody point me to to a place to download rhythm groups, drum tracks, etc...

1) Learn to play drums?

In all seriousness, tho, can you be more specific?

Sure!

Basically, I'm using the x8 as a piano and a practice tool. I happen to be playing a jazz tune, "You don't know what love is." Its a jazz ballad. None of the preset rhythm patterns sound any good, and I've tried making my own, don't know how to make a good drum track for such a song. I have similar trouble if I'm doing some blues stuff. I know what sound I want, but am not able to make the sounds fit what is in my head. All I really want is a good set of rhythm patterns for a jazz ballad.

Let me know if you need more detail.
