Hi, I am a begginer, and i want to learn drums, which type drum kit should i buy? Elec. regular, table top?

Hey guys, i am a high school Junior ( yeah, i know that i am old) and i want to start playing drums.

I am going to learn by myself, since i dont really want to pay for lessons, and i know there is alot of stuff online. That being said, i have a couple of question for you pros out there.

1. What kit should i buy?

--Since i live in an apartment, a regulat kit might be a nuisance to others, i am not sure if my neighbors downstairs will hear them or not, i have wooden/ carpet floor. Anyways, i was alway leaning toward an electronic kit, but as i researched, i came upon the prices and they were not exactly cheap... so, are there any begginer sets ( complete set), not too expensive, $100- $200, give or take. Also should i go for tabletop electronic set or, a standard kit. On youtube, they both sounded the same, and table tops are a bit cheaper.

So please tell me a kit that i could buy online (amazon, BB, etc.) and i would like it to be electronic, also in my price range ( i am a little flexible).

2. Do you know any websites or have any links, for begginers, that take them up from A and teach them until Z. Ofcourse Free is better (best). any videos, tutorials, etc.

-- but mainly, i am really looking for a set...

Could you give me a small description on each type/ comparison?

Thank You so Much for your time!

:D
