Based on the parameters provided in your query, I suggest you buy an entry level drum kit of standard sizes(22" bassdrum, 12" and 13" rack toms, 16" floor tom, 14"x5.5+" snare drum) suggested brands and models= Yamaha Stage Custom, Ludwig Pinnacle, Pearl Forum, Mapex Venus, Tama Swingstar
tune the snare up fairly tight, and tune the bass drum and toms fairly loose.
You are also going to need cymbals and a double pedal
I would recommend a cymbal pack that includes 14" hi-hats, 16" crash, and a 20" ride cymbal. Sabian and Zildjian make good entry level cymbals. Pearl and Tama make pretty affordable entry level double pedals.
Focus on gaining control of this basic setup before you add any more drums or cymbals.
Whoa, you couldnt have made it any simpler.... did you graduate from Fu@#ing Yale. You reminded me of that south park episode where everyone starts driving hybrids and huffing there own gas.... Genious.
