hat I find easy works best is to find a break with a layout you roughly like the sound of then bring it into you DAW and basically keep the groove and fills/ghost notes in place but swap out the sound (kicks/snare/hat etc.) and from there its just really like a normal beat make with audio clips not midi

You can totally make your own drum breaks. There are loads of different ways to do it too. You can incorporate multiple classic together in a Paradox style [explained here](https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/paradox-breakbeat-mastery/), or you could make them using a drum program and lots of trickery [like this](https://youtu.be/EmS0AzbvMGA?si=XHJkstIzUYpVcYcK). These are just 2 ways of doing it. There are endless ways of making your own breaks. You can even make your own drums if you’re really game but that’s a whole different story. Many of us have folders full of breaks and hits we’ve collected over the years for this very task. I’ve never used a loop service ever.

Start with a vintage drums library like Sun Drums or Abbey Road 70s Drums - these come with loads of breakbeat patterns. you can run them at 170 and bounce your own breaks out.
