Ok so I want to learn as well as my kids and we are looking for a decent drum set. The Pearl Export EX725SPC

or the Tama VK62HS Silverstar
http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-TAM-VK62HS-LIST
Now for the Tama I need cymbals and all hardware plus throne, but the Pearl just cymbals and throne. The Tama is 6 pieces vs 5 of the Pearl but I dont think I need that extra tom right now since just starting. However there is a difference between the shell materials, birch vs mahogany-poplar in the Pearl. I dont know anything about hardware but seems the Pearl one is not bad. So my question is: where do I get more quality for the money if getting the Pearl plus throne and cymbals or the Tama that needs throne, cymbals and hardware? I dont want to spend too much but also dont want to buy bad stuff. and if someone could recommend a set of cymbals will be great! So any suggestions?
