best drum machine/drum software

No, but for $80, you can get the VST-RTAS wrapper from Sweetwater and then use the FREE rgcaudio sfz soundfont player with the FREE natural studio samples listed above.

Or for $100, you can pick up DR-008 by FXPansion which is very much like Native Instruments Battery, and comes with 800MB of samples (over 100 drumkits).

Next up would be Battery for about $180 or so.
After that the prices escalate a bit, but so does the quality.

All better options, for all the reasons I listed before, in my opinion.

If you got reason adapted with your pro tools then you won't have to buy reason.

Great, I got the Reason Adapted with my Digi 002 rack and have it installed. Now you say it's as simple as buying and installing the Drum Kit Refills and it will work perfectly with Pro Tools LE 6.9?

How does the process work? Must Reason Adapted be open? How do I do this? Thanks

The Reason Drumkit Refill does not work with Reason Adapted.

But it does have some decent drum samples included.

There is a Video Tutorial on it's use at The DiskFlix

thanks for your help everyone. I decided to go with Reason. Hope I can figure out how to work it!
