I first started playing drums a few years ago because my buddies needed a drummer. I rented a kit and started practicing and could play basic songs within a couple weeks. Six months later we were playing in stage at my high school, and although I wasn't the greatest drummer in the world, I could hold my own.
MacGuyver's right though, it's very easy to learn but very tough to master. My kit was basically a five piece set: kick, three toms, snare and a hi hat and crash for cymbals. I bought a ride a few months later. I would also suggest starting with a kit similar to this.
If you are disciplined and practice a lot, you'll do fine.
