Does anyone know of any good, free drum machine and/or keyboard software?

I cannot stress enough that it is free!

Try Buzz. I liked it a lot when i messed with making music on my computer. Not the most intuitive to use (especially if you're not accustomed to making music in a tracker interface), but very flexible.

Is there a good free drumcomp proggy available that can handle triplets, out of the rhythm beats and odd time signatures?

I can't think of a dedicated, stand-alone drum machine software that does that. Most VST plug-in drum machines can do it, you just need some kind of sequencer to run them.

Buzz can do pretty much anything, amazing piece of kit for freeware. But perhaps a bit too much trouble for just making drum tracks.
