You could try the Sonor brand for an intermediate drum set!. A fair amount of the indie bands I know use Sonor brands for their drummers!.

Basically, you will need!.!.!.!.!.

1 hi-hat (with foot pedal for the kick)
1 kick drum (with foot pedal for the kick)
1 ride cymbal with stand
1 crash cymbal with stand
1 tom-tom (doesn't matter if its high, medium, or low-sounding)
1 cowbell stand (for Latin songs)

Going price would be $800-950, I guess, for all this!.

And of course!.!.!.!.!.
Drum sticks, which will run about $100-200!.
