Sure.

It won't automate the process like in guru of course but, you can do a pretty 
good job of it in GB6.  I actually demonstrate chopping up a drum sample in 
part 3 of the GB6 audio tutorial.  You can listen here.

Now let me try to explain it with words. :).  I hope I don't confuse everyone.  
Lets say you have a 2 bar drum sample and you only want the first bar.  You 
navigate to the beginning of bar 2 on the timeline.  Now press command T to 
split the region.  In this case, it will split your 2 bar loop clean in half.  
Now if you are interacting with the arrange layout area/time group/instrument 
tracks, you will now see 2 regions for your drum sample.  When your on the 
region that starts at bar 1 beat 1, and ends at bar 2 beat 1, press the delete 
key.  That section of the drum sample will be erased if thats what you want to 
do.  You can also copy the region you want, create a new real instrument track 
, and paste the copied region on there.  So then you could for example, stretch 
that 1st bar of the drum sample into a 3 bar loop, and add the 2nd bar of your 
drum sample at the end to make a 4 bar loop.
