Looking for drum machine or loops

[MonkeyShock]

I am looking for a simple drum machine to use for scratch tracks to help me keep time in recording other instruments. I have found searching the net for drum loops slow and time consuming, but if anyone knows of a real good site please let me know. As for the drum machine, I just want something I can plug in and play without a lot of fuss....verse,chorus. Any ideas.....maybe some simple software? I prefer WAV to MIDI. TIA!

Take a look at Drums On Demand. They offer 2 CD's ($49 each) with 24 bit recordings of a real drummer using a good kit and some nice mic setups. The CD's are broken into song sets which typically have an intro, chorus, verse, fill, bridge, ending, etc. The drum beats are done in basic styles (rock/pop/alt/metal/blues) and are easily used if you have loop editing package (I use Abelton Live).

This sounds great.

An excellent suggestion. The drums sound great too. I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. I noticed that guitar center is selling something similar by mick fleetwood with like,970 loops for $50. Thanks a lot!
