Ok, I'm 13 years old, can do expert drums on rock band.
Beat Blinded By Fear, Thrasher, Blackened, WGFA, RTTH all with at least 4 stars.

So I'm thinking of getting a real drumset.
How much are they, like a good, sturdy drumset? Like all the drums, hi-hats, and cymbals?

Or would it be cheaper to get an Electronic Drumset?

your best bet is probably to go to musiciansfriend.com and look around at their stuff, read reviews, and take your time before buying anything so you don't regret it.

typically, electronic drumsets are quite a bit more expensive than acoustic ones.

QFT. I found a good acoustic set at a yard sale last week for 300 bucks and am very happy with it. Not the greatest set in the world ( More like a mixed bag of skittles) but it plays fine ,needs some tuning, and a new crash someone stored it on its side, for what must have been 2 years.

E-drums will run you allot of money, and parts can be expensive.

the benefit of electronic drums is the volume and size

I would recommend that you get one 2nd hand..

you probably have to replace the skins but its totally worth it

and 13 is probably the perfect age to start learning an instrument because when you reach my age (19) you'll prob be playing shows or jamming with people and throwing around awesome fills/solos :)

Definitely. I got one back when I didn't know much of anything about music or instruments. I just wanted to drum. What do I have now? A snare drum that sounds like it was stolen from Lars Ulrich for one thing...
