If you're brand-new to drums, you probably aren't sure, just yet, if you want to devote yourself to them for more than a few months. That's fine. I wasn't sure when I first invaded my brother's room to mess with his kit. Just like I wasn't sure when I took up guitar at age ten.
Typically, I'm a big fan of going cheap when you're just starting on an instrument. That way, if it turns out that you really hate learning how to play acoustic guitar, you haven't wasted a few hundred bucks on a super-slick, high-speed guitar that's now a dust catcher.
I do, however, hate crappy drum sticks with every last atom in my body. They warp, or break too easily. They aren't well matched, so they don't sound the same. They just suck - and if you buy a pair of cheap garbage, you're saving only a few bucks. (Well...you're actually spending more money if the cheap stuff breaks a few weeks later.)
Go to the music store and pick a solid pair of sticks that fit your hands and your style. Invest a few bucks in a pair of Pro-Mark oak sticks, in fact. Even if you end up hating drums, you'll still have a cool pair of sticks, right?
