If you're serious about drumming you will end up buying more than one kit. A cheap electric kit based on an Alesis DM5 will sound pretty decent (the hats will sound a little unnatural but usable), the best thing about electrics is you can put on headphones and play 'em night and day. So I would say go with electic first, work on your skills and save up for a monster set of acoustics when you're ready to go on tour.
