but, if you get a smapler, then you can put the BEST drum sounds from ALL those modules into it... most of them are out on the net somewhere...
the smapler is much more versatile, but you have to do the work to get the sounds into it, and that usually means you need to add a SCSI connection you your computer for transferring the samples.... extra $ and time.
in the future, you might really get into crafting your own drum sounds by starting off with a drum sample and tweaking it by using a digital editor like Wavelab or Sound Forge... to use the resulting sound, you could import it directly into your Cubase audio track, or load it into the smapler and trigger it via MIDI...
plus, the smapler is good for other sounds, of course, and it will usually have those all-important filters... I don't think that many drum modules have good filters, but I could be wrong...
I started out with a drum machine, but quickly became dissatisfied with most of the sounds.... since I'm now picky as hell about my drum sounds, I've been taking the time to get a good collection going, and it's very satisfying.... so, a smapler was definitely the route for me...
your PC doesn't know the difference between a module or a smapler... it just sends out MIDI messages to play sounds, and it doesn't care what it's sending them to.....
hope this helps.

I always ask myself why would I want to get my sounds in the pc, it just seems like so much hassle.
Maybe there's something I don't quite understand about all this.
