Recommend a Style?

Hi, I'm new to adding drums to my songs, and I was hoping for just a little boost -- a little help to get me started. I don't know what style to have Jamstix start with for this song. Any suggestions?

Here's a quick, rough demo of first verse and chorus:

Enjoy the day.

Really like that song! I did a quick-&-dirty experiment with Mozambique, BonzoPak and a combo of Light&Funky and Tumbao with Jamcussion. The timing is off either because I got the BPM wrong or you didn't use a click track. Hope this helps.

Hey, that's fantastic. That's about 1000 times better than some of the rock beats I was trying to force into there.

I guess that's what can happen for a man who knows how to use his tools.

Thanks so much for giving me a better starting point. Wow, really can't get over the difference.

Enjoy the day.

I just listened to the before and after versions, and this is a great advertisement for Jamstix. The rhythm really seemed to do the job there Ralph.
