Just an update, I picked up an Alesis HR 16 with manual and power supply for $40 at the local music go round. Played around with it last night and it works perfectly (as far as I can tell). Thanks for the tip Joe, I didn't even know the HR existed, but I did a quick search on the web and found one right down the street!
It's perfect for what I was lokng for and I know it probably sounds backwards, given the infinite number of possibilities you have on a computer, but I really prefer playing around with this thing to the comp. Just looping a beat and being able to mess with it. Can't wait to run it through some gear and pedals and completely screw up the sounds.
Sweet! Thanks everyone for the tips!
Good Drum machine for practicing? Alesis SR-16?

I'm chiming in late but Fruity Loops (a software step sequencer) is easy and fun, has some inspiring features and you can record (bounce) any especially groovin' rhythms you make to .wav file.
If you have a laptop it's portable, too. Working download is free - its pretty cool stuff check it out.
