I think you described the sound of the AR well. I would suggest combining the RYTM with the DT. I know that is a pricey suggestion but I combine my RYTM with other drum machines all the time. That opens it up for say 5 tracks of drums and 3 tracks of samples and then you can bring in percussion, more drums and more samples via the DT.
IMO that is a serious weapon for any style of music. I can only speak for myself, I make house and techno, but my workflow is similar to a hip hop producer in that I spend a lot of time on my drum sounds and I sample into my RYTM all the time.
