Since we are just starting out, I most likely will stick with the heads that come with the kit. We are not looking at their entry level set, nor top end set, but middle of the road. I work with a few seasoned drummers and they said the stock heads will be fine for now, all heads have to be replaced at some point anyway. As far as cymbals, I will most likely be looking at a fairly entry level Sabian or whatever set, nothing expensive to learn on... \:\)
