When I was about to by my self my new kit two years ago, I though much about what kind of kit I wanted. I had always played acoustic kits and that was what I was into this time around as well. But along the way I realized two things.

My kit, kind of... |
So for these to reasons I decided to go for an e-kit. I primary decided for an Roland HD-1, but I realized very soon that this was not what I wanted. I started to look into the TD-4K and TD-9K and soon I had a brand new Roland TD-9K in my house.
The bass drum pedal is and Perl P-902 (not in the picture) which I'm very happy with. I have supplemented the kit with one Roland CY-15 Ride cymbal and one additional pad (PD-8). I couldn't be more pleased (... well, If I had the new Roland TD30K, then perhaps I could be more happy)
Sound card.
As I stated above, one of the reasons I bought a electronic kit was that it is so easy to record but for that I need a sound card. The card I choose was a Roland Edirol UA-25! A really price worth sound card with stereo in/out, midi in/out, digital in/out and a lot of other really sweet stuff. You can read more about it here.
The Guitar and amplifier
I begin with my amplifier and then I end my Roland line up (no, Im not sponsored by Roland :-P ). My guitar amplifier is an Roland Cube 30. It's a fairly nice amplifier, good enough for my home studio! It has some good sound configuration possibilities, so I can easily make my sound pure metal or a more acoustic tone. Perhaps one how actually knows how to play the guitar has need for a better amplifier, but as a drummer, it's good enough for me!
My guitar is an Gibson Epiphone Les Paul model with a warm nice sound. Perfect for my needs. Perhaps its not the best metal guitar, but for blues, rock and music like that it's a really nice guitar. I'm sorry but I do not know what pickups there is on the guitar, so I can not go in further on that.
Keyboard
The keyboard I use only to try bass licks/rhythms I use in my music. The keyboard is an old Casio CTK-631 I bought ages ago.
