Kick Pedal and Headphones

Here is a link to a pic of the set that I am most likely getting soon since I live in an apartment. Also I am new to drums and will be learning to play as well.

It's a Roland TD6-SXT Full Mesh Head Electric Set for those that don't want to click the link.

I am going to have to buy a pedal and was thinking for my first getting a DW7000... Ive heard good things about DW and it's not one of their "Lower Numbers" and right now atleast Guitar Center has it new for $90... Is that a good deal for a pedal of that quality? Or does someone else have a better recommendation? I am only looking for a single kick considering I am just learning... Dont want to distract myself from learning my core basics yet.

Also I am going to have to buy some headphones so I can hear myself play... I only have experience with headphones you use with your MP3 Player so any info/ recommendations anyone may have about some good headphones for this purpose at a reasonable price would be cool. I dont want to spend more than $100 on the pedal by itself and the same goes for the Headphones... I would like to spend $75 or less if possible on the headphones as well but dont want to buy a piece of crap either.

Hope all that wasn't all over the place and would love some input if possible. Also additional gear suggestions or anything for sell would be nice as well.

Thanks in Advance,
Kyle

Thats awesome to see you closing in on an e-drum set. Roland is a great selection. I use Direct Sound EX25 headphones and I wouldnt hesitate to buy them again if I wear these out. They have great sound isolation and response, and are affordable. As for the throne selection, I have Roc-N-Soc with a saddle seat. Being skinny, I dont have a lot of "padding" and this seat is not soft enough for my taste. I wish now I had gone with the standard round seat. However, it is a high quality throne. Hope you'll post pics when you get it... Bobby

I am also going to have to buy a Throne so recommendations there would be nice to and would also like to keep it under $100 if possible... Unless it truly is worth going over cause I figure I'll have the throne forever... I don't see that being something that wears out unless you just drop it while transporting or something.
