Just a quick "biggup" for this lovely bit of freeware.
It's a simple software drum machine, specialising in the sort of sounds used in decent music (no tom toms! >;-D ):
Learn more/get it.
It's standalone, rather than VST and it's not for performance (although, I suppose you could beat mathc other stuff to it when DJing, etc.), but thats part of the appeal to me. The fact that it's so limited, makes you really focus on making good loops. Its similarities to the way limited sequencers of the 303, 606, 909, etc. contributed to music made using them, as much as the sounds used.
I like rendering the loops off to .wav, then loading them up into recycle for cutting.
Just because you've got other, more complex drum machines, don't overlook this, it's a little gem.

it saves as .HH, how would you get it to a .WAV?

Hey I remember this! I used to play around with a copy that came with computer music mag ages ago, its pretty funky, especially when you drop your own sounds in.
This sequencer format is still my preferred way of programming drums.

The Pikey Cubase Diamonds, Step sequenced, live.....
I like the ones that cycle through short patterns like this because its easy to make variations/fills then save them, if i use the ones I listed above; I get lazy and begin to copy + paste large sections

raz0r - you can export the individual measure, the whole session, etc. into wave files.
i used this program for a while, it's a lot of fun and a good introduction to using sequencers.

Not bad :)
Kado:
Yes, Drum machine style sequencers are still my favourites for making single loops, but the laziness factor you mentioned does mean I like using floops' one. That's more for the 707/909 style overview though, rather than for actual editing.
When I moved house, I didn't have any music gear apart from the ER-1 for 6 weeks and it improved my drum programming no end.
