Woooo.. They use a bunch of equipment..

First, figure out your buget! ( $500, 1000, 5000, etc.. )

Next, figure out what you want to do.

If you what to make beats off the bat.. I would suggest getting a keyboard workstation. You can learn how to play the piano and still have the option to sample.

Yeah man, having what those cats have will not make you good. Learning to use what you've got is the key. Read that tweakheads site front to back several times and then come back with your questions
