Please explain to me about these drumsets???

Question

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Mapex-Pro-M-5Piece-Rock-Drum-Set?sku=446903

like this one, it has no toms connected to the top of the bass drum. and that is awesome because, they usually get in the way for me (and there's not a whole lot you can play on them). so can you tell me about the two floor toms, and the drum tilted sideways just above the snare drum? what's that?

AND... what would be a good drumset for me? I have been playing for 2 years, and I'm pretty good. I can read music but I usually don't. I have a ludwig beginners now, what would be good for me (i don't have 5 grand)

Hi There

Mapex is a very good drum, well made, awesome sound and , we use this make as a Studio Drum. The sound is crisp, nice tone etc... The titled Tom are the standard 12 , 13, 14" tom. you can add a second tom later one which is good with this system. Also, it is less strainful on the Bass drum.
