Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a Machinedrum next christmas.
Few quetions :
Is it good for Hip-Hop, Funk, I'm not looking for 'Natural sound' in 
particular.
Can you recreate the Linndrum samples ?
Is there anywhere on the web I can find good examples of this 
machine, despite the Lektron samples which sound to electro in my 
taste.

Thanks
