Thanks for the feedback, I'm just going to try and fit in an hour or so a day and just see what I can do.
Have you got any tips on where to get some good VSTs and drum packs?
VSTs - Find someone who can just give you them. You mentioned your friend used FL, ask him to put all his VSTs on a disk or something. Its a lot easier that way. Otherwise, look around for these
Korg Legacy Collection
Hypersonic
Battery
And heres a site with free shit.

1) Amateur drums chopped from breaks. Some of them good when used layered with other drums, but for the most part, will make your beat sound unprofessional.
2) Professional drum kits. LOOK OUT FOR THESE.
