I've played drums for about 10 years, though its been collecting dust the past 5 as I jump around the world. I'd definately consider those electronic ones, I've had my eye on them for a while. If you want a real drum set (dunno if thats the right word) you want good hardware, even if its older. A standard drum set isn't all that expensive, and you can load it up with cymbals and cowbells and whatever later. I used to love just playing along to my favorite songs (sound dorky?) and it was a good fun way to play. You can buy books if you want to get more serious, but that obviously isn't going to be as fun. Real easy to pick up, I'm at my grade 10 piano as well (also collecting dust the past 5 years) and drums is definately alot easier to pick up.
