I drum and I have a pretty good set. I recommend CB Percussion. Later, if you want a little cleaner, crisp sound, go for a cymbal upgrade. Zildjian makes excellent cymbals. Yamaha is great but finding a set under 400$ is damn near impossible. Good luck with the purchase. If you have any other drum questions, feel free to ask.
Edit: After further research, Yamaha has a set at musician's friend for 500$. I would highly recommend that set.

My brother had a Drumcomputer and that sucked big time, so don't get anything like that :x
I drum a little bit, I always do it at a mates house and he has a Yamaha set I believe, paid about 600 Eur.. But its a good set!

probably be better to get a used set if 400 is your price cap.

For cymbals, I believe Avedis Zildjian is the maker of choice. Apart from that, I don't really know.

The problem is, he's looking for under 400 bucks, and Zildjian isn't cheap. Yeah, they sound good, but just starting out, i do'nt know if you'd want to spend that kind of scratch

Yeah, definitely look for a used set on Craigslist or ebay.
My Dad has been a drummer since he was 12.. A few years ago he started buying new stuff for his old setup. All of his stuff is Ludwig.
And make sure you got a place you can practice with out pissing everyone off

Send me a PM with any questions, or post them here if you'd like
Been a drummer since 8 years old...thats 9 years solid
Currently own a 1962 Gretsch Round Badge kit with old zildjian cymbals and a buncha other stuff...i'll post some pictures sometime this week...
If you ask me, i'd look around Craigslist for a set for that price...second hand drumsets aren't bad...and depending on what musical style you prefer, i'll point you to some specific companies and models..
Still, for that money, you wont be able to buy cymbals, or even snare probably (at least not a decent one)...that's about a good price on some basic starter shell packs...
Anyways, i'll help you as much as I can if you want...

OK, here's a Nice comparison..
That drumset above, in car terms, is equal to:
Nissan Sunny
I trust you saw the TG episode
Would not even start on those, they might make you lose your enthusiasm...really...unless you don't really care for the sound, and just want to beat stuff up...then that'll do

Take the Ludwig..
It's a great starter's kit (sounds much better than other in it's price range), and Zildjian ZBT cymbals, although still not very good, are much better than the ones coming with the TAMA...
Steer the hell clear from the Pdp unless it's a much better model..
Your safe bet is the Ludwig+Zildjians...great price and a surprisingly good set for that price...
