I know this thread is old, but I couldn't agree more about Slicydrummer and Fill-in drummer especially. There are several reasons why it was so great and nothing I've found replaces it.
1. You told it what measure number you wanted the fill to be in and programmed your drum pattern leaving where you wanted the fill to be blank, then set up a loop in Sonar and just start auditioning fills until you found the one you liked.
2. The fills where arranged in folders by type and complexity (there were TONS of them) and whether the fill was at the beginning of the measure, the end of the measure, or the whole measure.
3. The fills were excellent and inventive and definitely sounded programmed by a real drummer or at least someone with a clear knowledge of how a real drummer approaches fills...such as having hi-hats and other cymbals incorporated into the fills and having various velocities on the notes just like a real player would.
Yes, the interface looked like a kid designed it, but who cares...it WORKED WELL, and enabled you to have very original and interesting fills quickly right in the places you wanted them. I have NO IDEA why Musilab stopped supporting it and went to making guitar plugins exclusively??? WTH???
If anyone knows of an alternative for 64 bit or a way to get it to work in a 64 bit DAW I would love to hear it...???
