Drum Machine V Sample Cd

[rxkevco]

Hi all,,,
Having a long think about getting a drum machine, but am a bit unsure what to go for.
Also intrested in what a drum sample cd has to offer over a drum module ??

I use cubase sx3, and have an m14 interface running thru a soundcraft mixer.
So far,, for drum patterns ,, i have used the drum kits on my yamaha dgx 300 keyboard which are fine for messing around, but not for serious recording.

Now i am getting a bit more serious about my recording and have finished messing around and testing my system i think its time to get something better for my drum sounds.
Dont really have a lot to spend, maybe £75-£100 used, probably off ebay.
I havent got into the cubase plugins or vst,s just yet so i am not sure how to get the best out of a sample cd,, which is why i think a drum module will be easier to manage to start with but as i am ready to start recording more seriously i will need something better than basic.

I really am a bit lost on this subject and would appreciate any advice or recommendations.
I dont want any dance or techno drum sounds, just rock and pop really.

Other options:

1) MIDI drums (sound too electronic)
2) Sampler with single hit sample files (wide variety of quality)
3) Actual Drums (wide variety of quality and expensive)

I went with #2. For that option, you can purchase a generic sampler, or a specialized sampler (both are software). The generic sampler feeds from files such as WAV files. The proprietary samplers usually come with proprietary sample files. Anyway...both of these can be programmed via a MIDI track, with the output (triggers) sent to the sampler. Viola...drums!

I believe that Farview on this site has samples for purchase. You can also look at products similar to DFHS (Drumkit From Hell Superior).
