Default Buying a drum set

Hello CP,

I have been thinking of buying myself a drum set lately. For about the last 6 months, I've been renting a beginner set from Long and Mcquade for 25$/month (steal of a deal if you want to try and get into the drums), and I think I may want to buy a set. I can buy those, however, I do believe they are fairly low quality, and would rather buy some second hand ones off of kijiji that are maybe a bit better quality.

My budget is 300$ (I know i won't get very high quality drums for this), however I would like to upgrade the quality as much as I can compared to the ones I'm playing now.

Right now, I'm renting these drums from Long and Mcquade, and can pay about 330$ if i decide to buy them: http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/185/

On Kijiji, here are a few that have caught my eye, however I don't know enough about drum sets to know whether or not these are good deals.

(the following only has two tom's which I do not like..., but looking for opinions on it anyways)

Anyways... could anyone give me any input on what to look for when buying a drum set, and whether any of those fit the bill. What brands are good? What's a good cheap set?

Thanks
