WTF? FTW!

I'm always a Yamaha fan.

I don't want to hang out with a drummer, yuckFind a local drummer who can help you buy used. There’s always great drum deals on Craigslist, but there’s even more shit, so you’ll need help to not end up with a damaged beginner kit.
The thing you have to remember is that the $1,000 has to include the hardware and cymbals as well. Most new and used drums will be sold as "shell packs," meaning only the drums and the necessary mounting hardware. The bass drum pedal, throne, high-hat stand, and any other cymbal stands will be extra, as will the cymbals. There are budget cymbal packs available that will get him started, and it isn't necessary to get all top quality hardware, but don't scimp too much, as the experience of play is diminished on drums, as it is on guitar, when you go too cheap.
Decent starter sets can be had, but you will find more value in the used market. Some people even sell drums, hardware, and cymbals together.
I'm a fan of Gretsch drums. I had a Catalina Club kit years ago and loved it.

That's exactly what I was thinking.your ears will thank you Trust me, my kit is in the basement and I hear the kids on it 2 floors up in my office like I am in the same room with them. That said, I went for an acoustic kit instead of an electronic. Another plus for the electronic, if you ever want to record, they have a USB out, so no mic-ing and messing with drum sounds for hours.
