But I'm in an apartment.
Would my best option be an electric kit? If so, can you recommend one? Should I get a real kit and get some type of muting device for all the drums?
If not, what other options do I have? Right now I'm using some chop sticks are drum sticks, my stomp box for a kick drum through my amp, and then hitting my kitchen pan as a high hat and a book as a snare. So, it's pretty ghetto. But before investing money I wanted to see if I have any knack for it.
My goal is to tighten my guitar playing because I didn't practice for a few years and got pretty sloppy, and beyond that maybe understand rhythm better for programming drums/thinking like a drummer and just exploring this side of music. And maybe if I get an electric kit I can play that instead of programming drums, though I really don't know much about those kits and how good they sound.
Anyway, this instrument is totally foreign to me so I'm curious to hear thoughts on the best path for this situation.
