I like to play on my drum kit. It's made up of drums and other precussion instruments, like cymbals. 
I have heard drums can make a lot of sounds
They can do a lot of sounds. In the early 2000s some electronic instruments started to be included. 
Iwould love to learn to play 
It's really not that hard to learn. You can get a standard kit that is usually used in schools but don't have any precussion instruments like drums. 
How do most people learn to play
Well they play non-pitch percussion which allows for the pitch to be scored using percussion notation.
