I do not recommend electronic drums for a beginners kit. I am a proponent of using acoustic drums for learning fundamentals, developing "twitch" muscles, and rudiments. With acoustic drums, you will learn how to control volume, dynamics, stick control. With electronic drums, you can bang that head as hard as you want, but as long as the volume control is set low, it won't change the amplitude of the sound very much.

You can get an inexpensive acoustic kit for $200 used. This is a wise investment for a beginner until you discover the students skill level, dedication, and practice habits.
