and...
http://spectrasonics.net/products/stylusrmx-reviews.php

"Unquestionably the most powerful loop-based drum machine on the market….A must-have instrument for anyone looking to take their loops to a whole new level of flexibility."
-Computer Music

"The first time I heard RMX the grooves just knocked me out. Once I started getting into Chaos, it was really incredible; There's such a variety."
-Herbie Hancock

"An astonishing instrument. …incredibly versatile and well-featured instrument that will change the way you use loops and grooves forever. Essential for all computer musicians."
-Music Tech

"Very impressive …RMX helps me to sketch a song in seconds and it sounds great... This is how I produced songs for the movie Slumdog Millionaire."
-AR Rahman

"Probably the most intuitive software I've ever worked with, and is a constant source of ideas and inspiration. I'm a very satisfied user."
-Bob James

I agree. It's very easy to use. There's plenty of loop libraries like NTS Audio Labs, Bunker 8, Simplosive, that offer one shots to make your own rack.

Poise is great, cheap, very capable, ans straight-to-point.
Geist is amazing too, but not in the same price range.
For drum synthesis, AraldFX DKS Drums is great.
You can also check my electronic drumsamplesif you wish
