Hey,
so due to various circumstances, I've inherited a drum set, or at least parts of a drum set. It's a 5 piece, but I only have the bass drum the two toms that attach, a floor tom, snare, and a hi-hat. The snare needs a stand, and the hi-hat is missing a piece that I'm just going to grab from guitar center one of these days.
It's not a particularly great set, but I'm mostly just doing this for fun because I've always wanted to play the drums, but never could because my parents thought that it would be too loud. However, now that I'll have my own place in a few months, I'll be able to like mess around on it. I'd like to be able to do this for as little money as possible.
Any recommendations for getting cheap stands, crash and/or ride cymbals, and sticks? I'm not completely a beginner, but I'm not particularly great so I don't need great equipment.
also tell me about playing the drums, and anything that I should keep in mind while I sort of teach myself over the next few months.

also if anyone has like some books/e-books/whatever that they would recommend for a beginning drummer to look at and go through for reference/practice/techniques please recommend those as well. I've done concert band percussion in the past so I have some background, but not like drum-kit per se, so anything that you think would be helpful please recommend as well.

bumps : for any drummers out there what sticks would you recommend? i inherted a set of beat up vic firth's but don't know anything about them other than that . what sort of things should i look for in a pair of sticks or so, and should i be looking at cheap/expensive for a beginner. Also i have really big hands and long fingers if that helps with comfort/etc.
