I am new to drums machines and Giga Drum Libraries. I know I have rhytm, but do not kno anything about Drum Beats/Tempos.

I wish to program my own drum patterns but need help.

Are there any tutorials on the web or books where I can learn about different beats/Tempos, measures what they mean, and also identify what a Hi Hat etc is?

Please shed some light where I can learn more about Drums and Tempo\'s etc,

After all I am living in a cave...
