Ableeton 5 - How to make beats?

I've been using ableton to mess around mixin etc (dj styleee) but wanted to start messin around makin beats and percussion etc ... I can't for the life of me work out how though .

Where do i start what do i need. I used to mess around with reason and that seemed so easy , everythin was there that you needed out of the box ,

Any help or pointers appreciated

Thanks

1. Go to your ableton plugins

2. Create a MIDI track

3. drop the simpler (for a one sound sampler) onto a track or the Impulse (for multiple sounds)

4. drag and drop your percussion samples on-top of these devices.

5. Go to your midi track in the arrange window and double click in a slot to create a part. (it should appear like your audio parts usually do)

6. you can then use your mouse there and create MIDI parts
