I received a $10 off coupon for answering 3 questions in a LoopLoft email survey.  Can anyone recommend a drum midi pack they have used from this company and why you like it? I am primarily a hobbyist, singer songwriter.  I have tons of toontrack stuff and just wondering if it's worth it.  Even with the $10 off I'd still be spending $19.  I use EzDrummer2.
Thanks

You can almost always get another 15% off at their site with a popup. Maybe you can combine them. I have their Linear midi loops 1&2 and The Indie. I don't know of anyone else making Linear style midi loops so they are pretty cool. They work fine with EZ Drummer.  If you know about Linear style I won't insult you. If you don't Google it and watch a guy named Steve Gadd on you tube. Linear is just different enough to make it worth while having, IMHO. If I recall, I have been able to combine coupon and offers so waiting should get you under $15.00 for a pack. They always have some promo going.

Good points by BD. I have quite a few LL MIDIpaks, including the Linear volumes.
 
I would also take a look at the Long Loops volumes. There are four different ones at the moment (I have all 4). Here's the link to the bundle (50% off):

I found these to be easy to build song ideas around. There's a really good variety of different styles spread across the 4 volumes. With the bundle discount, plus your $10, you could get all 4 for $48. That's a real deal. The previews on the bundles page are quite helpful.
 
Add the Fills Unlimited volume (LOTS of interesting 1- and 2-bar fills in both straight and swung styles), and you can put an awful lot of song ideas together with just those two subsets of the LL MIDI library.

Have fun making music!

$48.00 for 4 packs is a really good price. And look for the discount code popup. I think the Long Loops 2 has some Linear loops in it too, IIRC.

Most the people here only pretend to be helpful, don't really know anything and are under some form of house arrest. When I get my ankle hardware off you won't hear from me again.

"Ward of the State" is another term that comes to mind.

As does (considering your avatar, BD) Dustin Hoffman in the Marathon Man.
