I work with Fruityloops 3.0 shareware and Acid Pro 2.0. It's sorta a patched-together, ghetto system, but when used properly, it works suprisingly well.
The secret to getting the most from it is to create seperate loops for all of the kit's componants; a kick loop, a snare loop, a hi-hat loop, etc. This allows you two advantages; first, you can EQ/'verb the individual tracks seperately, much in the way a real kit is generally recorded. Second, by seperating all of the componants, it's MUCH easier to program fills into the beat- you simply cut and past in and out individual hits, or maybe offset a section of the kick drum by a quarter note, or whatever. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility while mixing.
Although, i ucually make a single loop of everything for when I'm tracking, to keep as much disc space free as possible, and to save time.
