It doesn't look all that bad!. The cymbals might not sound real good, but you never know!. I've never heard of this brand of drums before!. But it does come with all the stuff you'll need!.

Unless you're an advanced drummer, I don't think you'll be able to tell that much difference!.

I know you got some old drums from a friend of your parents!.
If those drums are like Ludwig, Tama, or Pearl you'd be better off buying the stuff I told you about in your other question and upgrading the old set because those are top name drum brands and probably would sound better in the end!.

You wouldn't believe what I used for a drum set when I was in my late teens, doing the drums for my own recording sessions in which I played all the instruments!.
My bass drum was from Sears and had a hole in the head!.
I had a bunch of old cymbals with cracks and chunks taken out of the sides!. I had some old tom from some company called berkeley and a Camco snare!. with really cheesy hardware!. It did the job, though!. If you didn't see them it sounded OK!.

So as a beginner, I think you'll be fine with either option!.
