A few suggestions:

Practice these beats one measure at a time. They are written as continuous pieces (there are no repeat signs). The listening examples are also continuous. These are generic midi files for reference.

Before attempting an entire page of beats non-stop, learn each one independently. Try to play each beat four times through with no mistakes (since modern popular music is usually designed in groups of four).
