Hi thefraz, Welcome to drumchat!
Biscayne drums are a beginner set that originated around the Miami area. They are one of the mass produced sets that drum shops buy a large quantity of and put their own name on (like Percussion Plus, Venus, CB Percusion, etc... They usually sell for around $350 new and I see a few of them going for about $200 - $250 used. I have heard that they sound pretty good once the heads are replaced, but the cymbals that come with them sound like trash can lids. It is a good set for someone to learn on, but I would replace the cymbals as soon as possible. It should last him a couple of years. Long enough to determine if he really wants to be a drummer or not. At that time, he can upgrade to a better kit.
I hope that helped a little.
