1. Easy to learn, impossible to master. Basically, anyone can learn, but you have to think about how serious you are about playing, and apply it to how hard your practice, and how much you work. I teach one kid because he puts himself into what he plays, which is good. I would never teach a kid who is just gonna piss it off. You need alot of hand/hand/foot/foot/mind independence to play good stuff, well, on drumset.
2. There is a MAJOR difference. Basically, a kit has infinite possibilities behind it. Which is why I dont suggest starting with an expensive kit for your first one. Get a simple 500$ 5 peice kit (kick drum, 3 toms, 1 snare) and a 4 cymbal (2 for a set of hi hats, 1 ride, 1 crash) starter pack (made by bigger manufacturers like Zildjian or Sabian), and the cymbal and drum stands and a kick drum pedal and you are ALL SET. For a long time. Once you get into your groove and figure out what you like then you can add more individual drums to your kit, some more crash cymbals or special effects cymbals, bongos, whatever your little heart desires. If you're REALLY serious about getting on stage after that and getting signed in a band, you could opt to sell your kit for a good price and upgrade to a better one.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
