Drum Drum

That's a great acoustic kit for a beginner but if you have to appeal to parents to "let" you get a kit this electronic one might be better to further your debate.

Then once you've learned more and have been with it for a while you can get a regular kit too.

An electronic kit also makes for good neighbors. Living in apartments and being a drummer is hard without one. (Been there, done that, got kicked out of one place for being too noisy)

Plus this one is a bit cheaper always a plus.
