You're welcome DJ.

There are demos available for Jammer Pro ( I like version 4 better ), Band in a Box, Slicy / fill in drummer, both Cakewalk (DXI ) and Cubase ( VST ) compatible,
and some other vst / stand alone programs ( fruity loops.. although it's loop based DJ and editing is needed to get any real "human" feel. Reaktor and Reason have drum machines, but ( at least in my miond ) theese are also geared more toward loop based / dance / modern pop music.

In jammer, you need to get in there and edit. It comes with pre made styles, but the variety comes when you lay down a bass drum in one style, a percussion track in another, snares in another..,etc, then tweak and make your own patterns in the opattern composer. Add a few different patterns for the same instrument anjd adjust the fills, then use the "humanize" faeture, and it gets a little more "real".

I like BIAB also because the drum composer works well and you can assign different weights to get a randomization on homemade drum patetrns.

Slicy and fill in drummer have their place as well in my lineup DJ. You can step enter notes for each drum instrument, use premade loops, and / or use the randomization feature to alter the patterns.

Nigel offers some excellent links on the SZ homepage. I'd suggest them as a starting point.
