Default MIDI Loops Source?

Anyone have a recommendation on a good source for getting MIDI percussion grooves and loops? I know there are lots of websites out there - Groove Monkeys, Cyclick, Twiddlybits, etc. But I'm wondering what anyone here might have used and found really good sources. I mainly want to have some good MIDI beat/groove loops for starting and then build my own kits on them and edit/arrange as needed. So any recommendations? Doesn't have to be free.

I don't know which VI's you have, but I've been more than happy with the MIDI files that are included with Toontrack and Spectrasonics VI's. I do, however, like to make my own grooves and loops.

Well I have Strike, Boom (of course), Transfuser, Structure, and then I also have Reason which includes Kong and Redrum. Not to mention my Yamaha Motif XS8 which has over 130 drum kits, each with anywhere from 60-70 different samples in them. Any of these can be triggered with MIDI loops using the SMF format.

I have no shortage of drum and percussion creating tools. But I'm really NOT a drummer, so I like to start with various MIDI loops to get ideas going and then edit from there. Helps me find the grooves I want. Hence my request for suggestions on good sources for that.
