Pearl forum , new, 1.1k , stock cymbals?
Stock cymbals sucks btw. like tin cans.
get second hand la i guess.. just check the condition, check the DRUM SKINS. ensure not stock la. they dont sound too nice. yeap. so preferbly in a second hand set look for:
1)toms(good condition) preferbly with changed heads.
2)comes with drumstools
3)drum pedal
4)dimension of toms
5)hardware Eg cymbal stands..
6) how many cymbals it comes with. is it hi hat, 2 crashes, one ride? see if it comes with splash, china or whatever effects cymabls too..
7) see the alloy used. B8 or B20. B20 is the better choice though! i suggest sabian xs20
they aint too bad
8) see ir price is negotiable!
Hope u find ur new set soft have decent sets! Pearl forum is decent! try carlos too! to me cymbals and drum skins impt!
LUCK!

go for gretsch
you can and should get a new drum set with that budget. i recommend gretsch black hawk. you can get it from music theme in peninsular plaza. the set is a normal 5 piece one, you need to buy your cymbals. the guy offered me cheap cymbals. if you are just practising at home, you wont feel the difference in the sound. with such limited budget, it'll do.
drums + hardware + cymbals =1k. that's what i bought not long ago.
p.s dun get pearl forum series heard it's not good.

drum skins are cheap to replace and should be the least of your worries. in looking for a 2nd hand kit, check the shells for damages, the rims whether they are warped, and the lugs must be of decent condition.
lastly, the hardware that comes with it. you'll know with experience, that hardware arent the cheapest parts around.
as for cymbals, depending on your need, prices and what is required will vary.

Hmm... can you share where you get your drum skins from??
It costs me at least $180-$200 to change the heads on a 5 pc kit...
