Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

buy it. just do it. I'm in your shoes - I'm 38 and bought
mine 2 years ago. I run it throught headphones using a mixer
and a 30 watt home stereo amp. The stress relief is a godsend
when you can beat the crap out of a rubber pad, produce awesome
sounds, and not disturb anyone.

The DTXPRESS is the most impressive / quality / professional
kit in it's price range - actually, i don't think there is anything else
in this price range. DON'T BUY A USED KIT - The pads go
bad, the HH wears out, the kick pad sensor goes - the mounts strip
... just avoid the hassle and buy it new. $1000 or less should get you
going.

http://www.americanmusical.com/ will let you make no interest payments
( $200/mo ). I know you can get it cheaper, but I've ordered alot of
stuff from them and have never had any issues.
