drum modules,Samplers,Controllers, WHAT!!!!

[ALLY]

Evry time I go to the music store and plead my situation I get a different answer on what will be best for me, samplers, no, you need a groove box, no wait a triton, no better yet a sound module and midi controller. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! WHAT!!!!

somebody please just answer yes or no ( well maybe with a little explanation). Is it an accurate assumption that I can get some sort of sampler say s2000 or s3000 by akai, and load drum sounds into it and use a midi controller or a sequencer in a software program (lets say cubase or cakewalk) and use this as a drum machine? also can I load other sounds and control them from my midi controller to add extra sounds to my guitar tracks. I'm not worried about live performance just in the studio. or is it better to go with drum and sound modules controlled by software sequencer or midi controller. (am i making any sense at all?)

every time I ask I seem to get different answers and am starting to think I'm more confused now then when I started thinking about adding midi to my music,maybe i'll just stick to strummin, that gets so, old though. thanks.

You can do exactly what you want to do easily in the way that you describe.
Just remember that it's awfully hard to write in the "note by note" manner using software as the trigger.
Much easier to use a controlling keyboard into the sequencer, and then use the sequence to trigger whatever voices you may have.
