How do you think sample packs are made if not from real recordings? 
"I was wondering if you'd like to try Magic Mushrooms"
"Oooh I dont know. Sounds a bit scary"
"It's not scary. You just lose a sense of who you are and all that sh!t"

YouTube is a good resource, but watch out for copyright.
Ripping from vinyl, tape, etc breaks copyright law, too.

Learn from the great late legend Tony Allen, who recently passed on. He even has some videos explaining different Highlife and Afrobeat rhythms - kind of tutorials. Then you could check out other great African and Arabic percussionists and drummers, even though there is a great variety of different rhythms and styles in between the various cultures and traditions of the Sahel, Southern Africa, the Sahara, the Maghreb, the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and so on.
Check out labels like Analog Africa and Habibi Funk who re-release forgotten gems by musical geniuses from that region. You could go the oldschool way and just sample their stuff or even better use it as your inspiration to learn and to recreate such rhythms yourself. What I like to do: load rhythms as audio into Ableton and then extract the groove. Then I recreate a similar rhythm with my own choice of sounds and apply the extracted groove.
