I'm gonna play it on keyboard using iMap. I've started with a book called "Advanced Funk Studies (Rick Latham)" but after a page of patterns found out that is becoming too difficult for a total starter like me. So what would you recommend than?
I want to be able play funk and breakbeat/hip-hop rhythms right now, but don't mind studding all other king of patterns for building a drummers rhythm baggage too.
Reccomend a book to learn drumming :)

If you are serious about drumming, you shan't avoid THE HASKELL HARR METHOD, which was sold by Ludwig Drums when I was little.
That's the drummer's baggage for all times. These are your SCOTTISCHE rudiments, which is to say the kinds of things a marching military drummer has to have. Here are your ratamacues and flamadiddles.
It's how to get your hand coordination and balance together, your stick control, par excellence. And there are a lot of ideas these cadences can inspire, these are some good licks to have under your chops, Haskell Harr. It may not have escaped your notice that funk and hiphop can be quite similar to marching band cadence...
Frank Zappa started as a scottische snare drummer.

This is going to sound hackneyed but just try to get as much drum time as possible and eventually, given talent and enthusiasm, those beats will start to flow.
Then, if you want you can still buy a book and really get down to technicalites and staples and with all that experience under the hood you'll know exactly what kind of book you want and it'll push you forward.

yamaha makes a series of e-drum pad serts like dd-55. I think there's model that's laid out a little better and has pedals rather than fotswitches.
rig that up and play along to some Metallica, soem Tom waits, some Sneaker Pimps, George Clinton -- your choice and taste
for a real workout put on anything from New Orleans
that'll work
if you need to slow it down there are these tascam guitar trainers that work with mp3 and CDs that slow w/o pitch shift
but I don't know if there's any better training than marching band cadences and shifting accents for pure stickwork
