I bought my daughter a set of Traps electronic drums a while ago... They're quite nice, have standard sized toms with mesh heads, a slightly small (20") bass and a reasonable snare. The cymbals are round abs with rubber strike zones.
The nice thing about the kit is that you can convert to to acoustic by 'just' changing the heads and cymbals as the hardware is a standard rack with double braced high-hat & separate drum pedal (not switches as with some other cheaper electronic kits).
The available kits is limited on the set we've got but the newer versions are better, you can also use different drum brains if you wish.
The triggering is pretty good, you can even do rim shots.... the only 'problem' is with fast high-hat work... the samples seem a bit long and don't always seem to trigger, I had a chat with the manuf' and they said the newer controllers were much better.
Has a quick look and the E400's seem to be around £400 mark with the E500's a bit more.
Whatever you end up with... good luck !!
