Dave,

After you import the drum loops into Sonar, press insert, eight on the num pad.

Jaws should announce that the track is recorded. If so, be sure you are at the 
beginning of the project, then press tab to go to the next transient.

Next press  F5 to learn the bar number of where you are.

Often when importing either loops or tracks into Sonar they are mysteriously 
placed hundreds or thousands of bars away  from the beginning of the project. 

If this is the case for your imported loops, open the event editor and change 
the  MBT starting time to bar  one.

If I understand your problem correctly the above steps should fix things for 
you.
