If you are worried about the loudness of an acustic set , you can always put silensers on the drum heads and even cymbals. I'll even say that they are required if the drum is played in small spaces; a big basement is way too small for a drum kit. There're plenty of manufacturers that sell silensers. I used to put old shirts on my drums, the stick bounce is pretty bad but it'll do. I would steer away from an electric drum set as a starter drum kit. They have completely different 'feel', in fact they are different instruments, kinda like an electric bass and a upright bass, two very different animals. If you get the electric kit it's likely she/he would eventually gravitate towards keyboards than to continue playing drums. Either way, it's good that there're kids that are still interested in playing music and parents that support them I disagree with your generalized statement about electric drums... You do, however, have a valid point about the rubber pads on the set that Sirquack it looking at vs. real drum heads. There IS a different feel, and "hard core" drummers steer away from them do to the feel and that they make your arms and wrists tired easier... Then again, he isn't looking for a drum set for a hard core drummer. There are positives and negatives each way, and you bring up a good one specifically with the rubber pads... That is why I went mesh....
