My first Kit was a Session Pro, Cost about £300. My last kit (Before I had a disagreement with my lead guitarist and it ended up being sledgehammered) was a £1200 Pearl in Blue...The only thing I saved was my Piccalo Snare. Basic Setup i Snare, Kick, Hi tom, Mid Tom, Floor tom, Crash, Ride and Hi-hat. I taught myself using DVD's, Online tutorials and LOTS of practice. Once you get the basics down it's allk up to you on expanding and trying setup's.
The best advice I got was from Ed Graham at an autograph session who told me, "Your arms and leg's aren't playing different beat's, They are playing certain part's of the same beat"
