I hear a lot of good things about Fruity Loops. Sorry, don't know much about it.

you'll probably get best results by midi-sequencing the drums... software like fruity loops is good for "4 on the floor" dance music, but if you want to get intricate with the parts, hand-constructed midi is the way to go. also, you should make sure that the sequencer allows you to change time signatures and tempos freely withing the song.

as for the virtual drum machine itself, i use steinberg's LM4, and it's pretty killer.

i've been using a midi program called Muzical Wizard, real easy to use. you can assign sound fonts, write actual drum parts (not just looping) and what not. only problem is it only works on window 98SE... Now if you're just looking at taking and improving existing midi files or drums, I just use cakewalk, edit out the instruments but leave the drums in, change the soundfont and record it as a wave, and you have a much better sounding drummer that won't sleep with your sister! here are some example of what i've done; http://www.toobookoo.com/BostonBBS/soar/sounds.htm#RockmanXPR
Yeah yeah, i'm not pro but it's fun!

oh yeah, here's a couple of samples of what can be done with a good midi sequencer (CubaseSX, in this case) and the LM4

bear in mind that these are low-bandwidth versions, but i've actually had people, after hearing these songs, ask if they can borrow my drummer for session work.
