Like I said before all of this is completely new to me and I know nothing about it so if any of you guys could provide me with some information would be awesome.

Hi,

I reccommend taking everybody elses advice about the programs and such. If you want to get into something a bit more original or experimental, I'd reccommend downloading the VST plug-ins Umbra-Free and Impulse. For drums, I'd reccommend Drumatic 3 or ezdrummer (can be modded for electronica). All but the latter are free plug-ins and are as easy to use with your Midi sequencer, piano roll, whatever.

Hope it helps, good luck
