One thing I was wanting was more full drum beat. I guess I like the more breakbeat style of drums than the DnB, but you needed something more to fill that empty area up. Be it a DnB style or a breakbeat style.
As an exercise, just make some drum beats on a drum machine like thing. Try to fill it up, without making it constant noise. You could also start with a solid pattern of 1/16th notes and remove them to try to help inspire you. Later on, you could start thinking about tuples, or make a 6/8, 9/8 beat or something and use duples O.O
* Ronald_Reagan likes tuples in base two beats.
Seems like they use some in the link above:

Also think about swinging the beat.
HTH
PS. Tip #1 about learning anything: always watch/listen to things you call good, and try to imitate them.
If you copy the link above, you will be able to see clearly what it does that you like. Dont be afraid to copy/imitate. Btw, copy does not mean copy and paste, it means entering the notes in yourself :>
