Ideal beginner kit

[theKeeper]

My son started learning drums a while ago, got his first electronic kit, and I've been following in his footsteps.
Anyway, we moved to another country shortly after that, and for a number of reasons can't afford to have a full-blown kit right now - too loud for the neighbors, not enough space, etc.
I've been looking at DW's Go Anywhere set (http://www.dwdrums.com/hardware/hw.asp?hw=dwcpPADTS5&w=p65) but I kind of wish it was electronic.

What do you think is the ideal entry level kit taking into account the space & sound limitations?

And how do you think the perfect set up for this could look like (if it's not in the market yet)?

I'm been there and I chose to have an electronic kit. If I were to do it over I'd get one with V-pad or an equivilant type for the feel. Headphones, bank of sounds, they fold away. You could even gig out with them if you wanted to.

You ready have an e-kit, so why are you looking for the ideal beginner e-kit? What is lacking in the kit you already have?

That kit was back in Russia before we moved. Dragging the kit all the way to West Coast was a bit too much

Awesome! Manadala is actually pretty close to what I have in mind. Price is definitely an issue though.

I was thinking of something like DW's practice pads that could connect to my smartphone for sequencing, cause you probably don't need a full-blown standalone drum brain these days, because sequencing can be done better on a computer/tablet/smartphone. And it's more flexible, cause you don't need to upgrade firmware.

something like this.
