 I'm starting to tool around with the idea of learning to drum. Since I'm apartment bound for the near future, if I want to do anything, it'd have to be electronic. I have a few questions as follows:

Is it bad to start on electric drums? Will it mess me up if I want to eventually get an acoustic set?

How much can I learn/practice on my own before I absolutely have to get lessons? I'm sure lessons are invaluable, even early on, however I'd like to ramp up this hobby slowly and not invest a ton of money right away. The plan would be to eventually get lessons, and if I like it, go at it full throttle.

Finally, what is a reasonable price range for lessons and at what frequency should I be taking them?
