I've DDrum are pretty good as well? And Mapex are an extremely good brand as well as Pearl.. I'd say they would be the 2 top drum brands. I use Zildjian Cymbals and swear buy them, people say they are pretty pricey, but i dont agree. For example you can get the ZHT series 14", 16" 20" + free 18" for $400 and they made from 12% tin and 88% copper. High end cymbals are 20% tin and 80 copper and can have traces of silver or sometimes gold. When it comes to cymbals I'd look for the tin content not just the brand.

What are good drum sticks..? like i've herd Vic Firth are pretty good.

If i was you I'd just get a basic $500 kit, thats what i started with and it wasnt too bad.

When it comes to a drum kit, you want to make sure it is made from good wood, Birch(pretty all round, a bit punchier than maple) and Maple(warm centred feel) are probably what most people have or want. They are both very good woods. You can also get Popler (not that great) and Mahogany ( I'm not sure about this, I beleive its really good, but i havent seen any kits made from it).
