There are two ways to go. You can use drum samples, which you can often find for free by searching terms like kick, hat, ride and snare followed by wav on Google search. Then you would need to paste them together with some kind of software, which brings me to the second way. You can use MIDI sequencing, which requires some kind of software. For sonething versatile, easy to use, and most of all, low cost, I recommend Mixcraft. I've been using it since 2009 and it comes with a 14-day free trial and tutorials. Anyway, for composing just drum rhythms, you don't necessarily need a MIDI keyboard, but if you're trying to compose a full song, a keyboard is a must. A knowledge of Music Theory and ability to play piano would also be a major plus. If you're just trying to make drum rhythms, though, you'll do just fine as long as you have a sense of rhythm. I hope that helps.
