what is the best equipment?

If you want the highest caliber possible I would recomend a
sampler and a decent audio/midi sequencer. Any hardware or
drum machines would be the icing, but don't rely on them
exclusively for "beats" or what not. You will always be
confined to that particular piece of gear's limitations. A
sampler allows true versatility to do whatever you want and
tweak things to your liking.
That being said, I'd recommend anything by E-mu (Esoniq),
their samplers are top-notch, the 4xt being the holy grail
;) Akais are good too but they have their limitations.
If I had to guess, I'd say RDJ is using Protools for his
audio, if you have the druthers though, go with Digital
Performer by Mark of the Unicorn. It combines the best of
midi and audio environments into one package. Aside from
stereo imaging issues and lack of vst support, its the best
sequencer/audio program on the market. I'm speaking on the
macintosh side of course.
Which reminds me, if you're making music on a PC, sell it
immediately and buy a mac. Not neccesarily a G4 or anything,
older power macs are awesome too. Perhaps I'm biased (ok yes
I am) but macs are definately designed for creative
endeavors (music/graphics), PCs are essentially designed for
business (spreadsheets/wrod processing). I'm not saying PC's
are not good for music too, but the MacOS handles audio in a
superior fashion across the board. Sorry if I ruffle some
feathers :)

I like to use a hoover and a Hotpoint tumble drier....

Have fun.
