Hello Jim, I've sampled through almost all of those tunes and none of them use the drum pattern that Bo Diddley used on "Hey Bo Diddley". They're so wide to the mark, that typing Bo Diddley into the song search shouldn't bring up any of them. the beat is basically a 3 / 2 clave with a New Orleans second line feel. the New Orleans beats come closest, but still just not the real thing. Thanks for your response Dave
One of the many things that made Bo Diddley unique was his sense of timing. You may not be able to find an exact duplicate of the beat used in "Hey Bo Diddley" because the beat is unique to the song.
You may want to consider running listening tests of MIDI styles with MIDI drums. Then you can use the piano roll window to edit the drums to match what you want.
RB has a drum grid editor which may allow you to create the beat you want with midi drums and then export to BIAB. or work mainly in BIAB, open the file to finish in RB and then replace the drums with the beat you created in the drum grid editor.
The Bo Diddley Beat is worldfamous; everybody knows it (though not necessarily under this name) - here's a drummer showing it in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH2N2zgf4MQ
I'm very surprised that it's NOT implemented in B.i.a.b. with all its emphasis on American stuff and patterns... I was so sure it was until I found this thread here - and am somewhat disappointed now since I need not just the beat but the whole pattern for a new song of mine right now and was sure I could manage to put up the playback with my B.i.a.b. ....

Norton music has exactly the BiaB Bo Diddley style that you are looking for:
Over the years I've also lamented the lack of a good Bo Diddley Real Drum track. I recently stumbled upon ModernFunk16thsSput that gets pretty close to my ears.
User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
