Recording Live Performances with Ableton Live



I'm curious how many of you are using Live to record your live looping performances.   For some reason I am finding this a bit cumbersome. I am used to my easy way of just recording my main output to a wav file in MAX/MSP.   Now I have this whole business of tracks, exporting, etc.
 
The problem I'm having is that I am importing a wav drum sample, which I loop in a live track, then and then I play my guitar and loop over that drum loop. But when record it only records my guitar witihn the drum loop segment over and over.  I don't want to un-loop the drum sample, because then I have to drag it out a fixed number of measures, which defeats the purpose of improvisation.  How do I work around this?  Is there a way to have the drum sample loop, but record the live out put of me playing with it?
