i did it about the cheapest way possible (and still do) as well
cool edit pro for sampling (its free) just drag a MP3 file into it and you can chop out sections of a song
FL Studio 9 (torrent DL, technically free lol)
started with a $120 MPD24 midi controller, now i use an MPK25 midi Keyboard ($250)
if you're not using hardware...within whatever software program you're using you should be able to just hit a key or use a mouse click to "hit" a drum pad and play whatever sound you want
