I'm gonna hop on the bandwagon here and say go with nice cymbals and slowly build up the set. As for the kick, I gave in, bought a double Iron Cobra about 2 years ago, and it has not faltered one bit since the day I got it. Buy nice equipment and he'll be less tempted to beat it up. Buy cheap stuff and you'll just be spending more money in the long run.
And not dissing electronic drums, but if he's young, give him a real set. It might be a bit of a pain, but he'll get better. Electronic sets would just break, even a top-of-the-line one. Trust me, I've seen it done.
