What's the best way of recording drum tracks onto garageband?

I usually use garageband to record acoustic tracks, but I want to get some drums involved. The drum kit software on garageband isn't great and pretty difficult to use with just the macbook keyboard, should I get some kind of USB keyboard or drum kit software from elsewhere? If there's a good keyboard for this purpose could someone link me up, because I'd also like to involve a bit of piano/synths in my recordings.


I should also mention that I'm a student and am therefore on a pretty tight budget!


Cheers!

Yes, i suggest you to use a MIDI-Keyboard, even a small one (like my M-AUDIO KeyRig25) is good and fun to use. It's also better to use some specific Audio Plug-Ins which you can use in GB. There are many freewares around.
