the answer to your question can be as long as an answer to "how to build a car".....

I don't mean to diss you, I am lost in this audio recording world myself, too :D

you got so many things to consider, here are some examples:

1) Instruments: keyboard, modular, synth keyboard, drum machine...ect

2)Mics+mic pre: this covers about 100000000 products out there that people argue about everyday

3)Something to record on: Hard disk, computer (PC/Mac), ADAT, tapes..so on.

4) If you go computer, there are softwares to think about

If you don't plan on spending more than a couple hundred bucks, I would start with the instruments and mics. If you know how to use them or own them already and don't wanna spend a whole lot, use your home stereo/boom box (and hopefully it has the overdubbing function) and track one thing at a time on regular tapes. The quality will be bad, but, you get to produce your won music at least...
Or, get a cheap software+soundcard and mess with it
Now, if you got lots money, some experts will show to the way to a pro sound
 
i would probably stay away from drum machines. These are often poor man's beats. I would go with one of them Roland keyboards with the Hip-hop expansion board. That thing sounds really nice. Alesis also makes one that is comparable, but I don't think it is as good.
