Just a practise pad, sticks and a teacher are all that's required to start. Get the teacher first to adise on all the rest - you don't know if you will stick to it yet so don't spend a lot of money.
Find a teacher. A flesh and blood teacher. The local music store will advise on teachers in your area. This will be where it is worth spending money especially as a beginner.
But most important of all .. HAVE FUN.. IMHO though, if you develop great mental time you'll have more fun jamming with someone than if you are trying monster drum rolls but keep landing wrong or losing the time in doing them. The most fun is when it gets hypnotic.
