Need Drums

[The Napper]

I'm new to recording. I'm up and running with the us 122, and for now, using the Cubasis vst software that came with it. I also have the Cubase SE Studio package. I thik it may have come with some sort of drum software. Whats the best way to get some drum sounds in my recordings. I keep hearing about fruity loops. I don't have a synth. or drum mach. Should I download these off the internet or run down to Guitar C. and buy some software. Thanks in advance for any input!

Fruityloops isn't bad for the money, but it has a lot of other stuff you may or may not use (synths and samplers). To get started, I would buy a few drum loop cd's from places like Beta Monkey Music. It's quicker and easier that way. Once you get to the point of wanting to control individual drums in the mix, then hold out for a drum sampler such as Battery from Native Instruments.

Thanks, I'll check into that.
