I've never used a standard drum machine. Everything I do is on Reason. That way I can overlay the patterns and manipulate how I want them to sound. You can also plug a keyboard into the computer and do what you want with it. Reason has some sick drum-kit refills out also.
I guess this didn't really answer your question. You could look at musiciansfriend.com and see what they offer. They are a bit pricey but they may be able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck.
