Hi Bruno, welcome to the list. For recording, the weapon of choice is Ardour. As for Hydrogen, I think it's a very good drum machine for playing with or jamming, but I wouldn't use it in music production. The sample kits are rather limited. I'm working on a series of drum sample kits for the excellent ZynAddSubFX synthesizer. If you prefer acoustic samples, I would get them from http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/, and load them into the sampler Specimen, and trigger them with the sequencer Seq24. This way you will have unlimited supply of samples because there are constantly people recording samples and uploading them to the freesound project, while hydrogen samples largely depend on the work of one person.

If you prefer synthesised drums you can also try the drum synth smack. http://smack.berlios.de If you want TRX0X style drums and dance style stuff it could be what your looking for. I use hydrogen for sampled stuff, though i don't use the built in sequencer. I find seq24 more useful. Loki
