If those are the new Rogers made by Yamaha, they get pretty horrible reviews.
Try the Yamaha Rydeens instead or a Taye.

I'd try a Taye set. I think they sound good and they aren't that expensive.

If $700 is the budget for just the set...iono, but I'd have to recommend a pdp x7, perty much teh best kit in its price bracket.
For cymbals...even for the set, get to some local music shops and start hittin' stuff

...you have to be joking there guss...or bein perty sarcastic lol. d00d's 19 and you link to the closest thing pulse has to a...first act =P ... I say an X7 if you plan to stick with drums/keep em'.

about the paulse, yes. The X7 is live giving a new born a coppy of "law and punishment" and telling him to read(not calling him a new born).I just think he should save up for cymbals, can YOU live with out a china. It is a great kit(LAP is a good book) but its more advanced.
I say go to the music store and find a fushion kit or a 12 13 16" tom kit.
A used kit can be just as helpfull... here is a good website for used kits(i saw a $100 kit with a Zildjian splash, that has to be at least $100 alone).

I used to be a big pulse fan. They make pretty good starter sets. Good bearing edges and all that stuff. The hardware that comes with their sets, however, is made from old beer cans. (Budweiser-Yuk!!) If you buy their Pro-Line hardware it is excellent. It will go just fine with a fer better beginner product from Getsch. The "Catalina" series. The Maple Catalina kit is a killer. It currently comes with a free 16"x 16" floor tom as well as the standard 14"x 14" that is already in the kit.
It makes a very nice kit. Even if you're not just starting out. The interior plies are all Birch and are beautiful. The bearing edges are far better than on my PDP kit.
you could but the same Pulse Pro-line hardware to go along with it and you would have a great and bulletproof kit for any kind of music.
