I'm a relatively new drummer also. I'm playing on a 5-piece 'Rockland' set with a bunch of Sabian B8 cymbals.

I would suggest getting a set that has a few toms for you to tinker with. I would think that just snare rolls would get boring after a while.

That's about all I have for advice, but I did have some questions also.
I'm looking at getting some new drums here too.

I like the Pearl Vision VBL in the concord fade finish. But they only come in a 2-up 1-down tom configuration, and would like an additional tom above the other two rack toms. There is also a Ludwig Element set that comes with the 3rd rack tom. I won't have to worry about hardware until after I sell the set that I'm playing now. Then I will need a hi-hat stand, a snare stand and throne. So I'm probably going to be getting the shell pack. Do shell packs come with heads?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking for? I'm also interested to see if there are any decent brands other than the ones you'd find on Guitarcenter.com or Musiciansfriend.com

Thanks for any insight.
