Comment on Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer?

Buy a drum pad and a set of sticks and practice rudiments for a year. Only then decide whether you want a full kit. Ask the guy at the music shop to help you select a pair of sticks. You can default to 5A or 5B as a reasonable option. Vater sticks and pads are inexpensive and quality.

It’s the boring truth–without getting the rudiments and stick control and proper technique, the drum set is not gonna make you a good drummer. It’s fun as hell to have one to play, no doubt–but if the goal is to be a good drummer you really gotta focus on the basics first.
