Drum Loops - Please recommend

I used to use ezDrummer, however since my computer got toasted by lightning I ended up buying a new PC which
is now Windows 7 64 bit. I don't want to mess around with ezDrummer anymore. I like the simplicity of using drum loops.
 
So now I need some good drum loops. I have spent the whole day looking and come up empty handed. I downloaded all
the sample smartloops and they seemed to be promising. However, I auditioned all of them and nothing is close to what
I am currently looking for. I am hesitant to purchase them only to find they are not usuable for my needs.
 
The project I plan to work on first is a heavy rock style re-make of one republic apolgize.
The drum style I am interested in is like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyHmm4Boho0
 
I have not been able to find anything remotely close to this even though it is so ridiculously simple ... is it me or is it because its so slow.
I believe the tempo is 58 BPM. Or maybe 116BPM, I guess it depends on how you look at things.
 
Finally, I am currently checking out BetaMonkey loops but there are so many to choose from and I don't want to buy crap I can't use.
So I am hoping someone here can offer some good recommendations for me please? Again, in particular my first project will require
some loops that are similar to the example I included.
 
Thanks for the help!

also check the tempo in bpm. sounds round 50-70 tempo and 3/4 bpm at lease that what sounds like.

I threw the original one republic MP3 onto a track and adjusted the metronome. It appears to be 59 BPM but I
its still not exact. I'm still learning. Thanks for the link, I got a bit of sticker shock though. I was not expecting to pay
nearly that much for some quality loops.

+1 to Kalle ... especially the hours it takes (either way)

Albeit, its more professional sounding, IMHO, to have professional loops enhancing my mixes oftentimes; I routinely use:

1) Producerloops.com  (the best song construction kits at about $30US ...)

2) Beatscape (in Sonar)

3) Band-in-a-Box (Audiophile Edition only)

(sorry I didn't have time to listen to the url yet)

Well, before I was on a computer-based DAW, I used a drum machine. When I got up and running on Sonar, I thought drum loops were the bomb! Then I progressed to EZ Drummer and now I'm happily using Battery 3. But since you've tried EZ Drummer and want to go back to loops, I would suggest the Beta Monkey loops. I got a lot of good stuff from them and it's pretty diverse. Sony has some good ones too... Sony's Vitale Drums have some great stuff too that might fit the style you're looking for.
