Can someone please recommend some place to buy some (or get for free) midi drum loops, other than Groove Monkee?

www.drumtrax.com

These are lengthy songs, with intros, fills, breakdowns, outros, and so on. You can cut the loops, re-arrange them, and mutate them into all-new loops if you have JamStix. Between JamStix and these, you'll have every MIDI drum part you'll ever need in your career.

$150 and your search is permanently over.

Take care,

why only MIDI?

If you're not yet using WAV/ACID/REX loops, you should start looking at that. All you need to do to create your own sound, is change the sounds for each slice, which you have to set for a MIDI file anyway :). Or you could try something like energyXT, which can load any WAV file, slice it and export the MIDI groove, so you can reuse or change that.

One of the disadvantages I found with MIDI percussion files (not just the plain drum MIDI's), is that you have to find out which instruments is exactly which note. Because most of my percussion instruments are apparently not exactly in GM format. (or the MIDI's are not). which makes them more or less worthless.

Check out www.soniccouture.com
They have some free midi files and also some free REX 2 Format loops.
I don't have anything against gravity but it really does weigh me down

hmm guess it depends on what you use to tripper the loops if you use a sampler like battery (or plug in the blank) like I do I don't find this to be a hindrance at all. either repitching the notes in the sampler or changing the octave of the sequence and bang you are done
i would also recommend the groovemonkee midi files, i find them handy and inspring, good value for the $
