To me and my friends, drumming is the most addictive thing as it as addictive as cocaine, once you start drumming, and you are really passionate about it, there is no end to it. And you would have to own a good pair of drum stick, prefably vic firth or pro mark and a practise pad.
My drum school is a christian based drum school which i am currently attending is a very good drum school but i think that it is hard to get a good timing and the school fees is expensive although they sell the drum sets and accessories cheap.
And you would need an electronic drum set to learn fast and it would cost as little as 1k for the yamaha dtxplorer or a good one such as roland td-4k which i own one and it gives alot of good practise functions - $2000 or roland td-9kx which is 4000.
