I'd say first start with a five piece, look at ebay for good second hand kit sometimes you'll find hidden jewel. I mean you may be can even get an old TAMA or PEARL or like yesterday there's was a Yamaha Beech custom for 600$ cdn without hardware. Get the TAMA hardware pack and couples of more stands and some eBay cymbals or Pre-Pack or Dream cymbals from
Front Range Bronze, Dream Bliss, Contact, Bosphorus, Cymbals. Vintage Cymbals and you'll be set.
Now for playing I recommend a teacher or at least follow drums online lessons and buy books & DVD's. The, practice, practice, practice...
