I need a program to create some very slow, simple drum beats.

Any ideas?

garageband is a very straightforward program, easy to use and theres plenty of kits, one of the jazz kits sounds very crunchy, like it was recorded up someones anus (by doom i'm thinking electric wizard quality)

don't know anything else though sorry

Find the "Drum Programs" section. Try those.

I may sound terribly old-fashioned or something, but if you are trying to record some music, drum programs would be, say, lacking integrity. I dunno what you are trying to do though. If you are just trying to set up time signatures so you can jam in your spare time that's one thing, but if you are trying to record demos, get a cheap drum kit and play the drums yourself and then just dub the drums you played onto your recording with the other elements. But I dunno. Anyway, I know little about drum synth, or really music production in general, so sorry I can't give much advice.

I don't have the money to afford drums.

buying drums rape your pockets, some of those links Moseph posted were wicked, i think i'll download a couple myself, wouldn't mind dabbling in some Jesu style music... programmed beats and all that malarky

Drums do rape the pockets. Tap on some garbage cans. Doom metal with spoon banging bum drums instead of real drums. That would be mondo wicked.

doom metal, hmmmm.
Program the drums in Sibelius 4 it automatically predicts the velocities relative to the notes position in the bar then run it into something like cubase and run a random quantiser through it and then use reason 3 to record it.

In college we can to reproduce a song using MIDI, i Used this method to do a saxophone part and i nearly got kicked out of college because they thought it was too good to be written by a student and assumed i plagiarised it, (idiots lol). It is the fastest and most effective way to create a realistic sounding drum part without having to get behind the drums i have found so far.
