Study midi files...or try starting with a simple two-step and add a snare or bd in different positions and listen to the way it changes the groove. Then try recreating what you hear in other tunes. Use Fruity loops if you've got it.
For sampled breaks:
wavesurgeon or recycle...
...or you could combine both!

One last tip is get the velocity of the note right. Offbeat snare sound alot better if they are subtle and a little quieter. Also with kicks. The louder hits should just be the ones that define the beat (eg the 2 step kick pattern) Oh and vary the loop by having fills that start on a snare. You will see what I mean....

When I wrote that last message I was in a bit of a mood about it all, I still love dnb as much as I`ve ever done and a well-pregrammed 2-step beat can tear up the dancefloor bit time, but I kinda agree - we need more variety, producers need 2 start thinking 4 themselves again rather than doing the done thing 2 get their tunes bought. More soul please, more funk, more girls back on the dancefloors.
