Buy a pair of sticks and a practice pad for $25 and see if you actually are going to get into it. If you practice for a few months and decide you really want to do it, then buy a snare, and spend atleast $300 if you want something that has a nice sound.
I prefer to play on a pad than an actual snare drum if all I am doing is working on rudiments and technique.
But I cant play the rim on a pad
