Improving Rythum

I have decent rythum, its ok. I don't have an MPC yet, but I have been wanting one for the longest time, and I would like to know what are some ways you can improve your rythum, like exercises, ETC.
Thanks.

Buy a cheap african drum, tap on tables or buckets, get into a drummer's mind by playing along with a real (recorded) drummer using a kit in your synth/pc etc. Don't forget to listen. Also, taking a drum loop and pitching it down gives you a more 'microscopic' ear to real drum rythms.

Not sure this is what you meant...?

Beat juggling (with turntables) and scatching has always increased my rythm.

1. Buy MPC
2. Turn "quantize" on.
