ahoy d+b produca!
important: there is NO recipe for making rythms in general! whatever you like is o.k.
for a good d+b beat you need a snacky bd, a snare (long, adsr envelope) and some clean hihats. that is it.
breakbeats are asynchron rythms. that simply means you should change the gap between bd and snare )look above)
in d+b the snare makes the beat, the bd is often a bit layed back. a continous hihat line makes it fast.
i think it is necessary to build the main beat structure by yourself, sure, you can use samples as well but it is hard (at least for me) to consider it as your own music.
apart from that be sure to go on a high bpm rate, d+b is fast music..the speed will also change the groove of your beat.
add some snare rolls and drum effects taken from sample collections (you will need timestretch and pitchshifting, i highly recommend a hardware sampler, the computer works good too(Recycle!, Fruits!). tha true produca makes everythink on his own of course... ( so he says, in fact he just customized audio you cannot recognize it..dam bastard).
i hope this helps. always keep in your mind that making music with electronic instruments is not easier as playing real instruments, it is just different. nevertheless you have to learn to control your equipement so you can go whereever you wanna.
it is lot of practice though. just keep doing stuff...

Also, if you want a quick and easy way to some nice lil' breaks and loops, download "Amen" from the above link, its a great, free program, and you get a nice sample of the amen break.
