I play several instruments and know the pain you're feeling! I had the same dilemma with my flute when I started playing guitar. But I continued with both and am now a successful music student in university!

I would advise you to keep your guitar. You already know the basics, so even if you put it down for a while and pick it up again later, it will all come back to you. Plus, playing more than one instrument makes you a well-rounded musician, even if you play one better than the other. Other musicians like that and it's more fun to jam when you can move around to different instruments.

Like Sam Y said, save your money (if you have at least a part time job, this will be easier) and buy a nice drum kit for yourself, even if it's used. Be sure to try them out before you buy them though, it's usually a mistake if you don't trust me on that one!
