What are some of the best death metal or black metal bands out there?

I always have enjoyed heavy metal (Metallica, Pantera) but really just started listening to and enjoying very much the death metal subgenre. I currently listen to Lamb of God, Amon Amarth, As I Lay Dying and Children of Bodom. I am eager to discover more great death metal bands and some black metal since I have never heard black metal before. If black metal is heavier than death metal than that would satisfy my appetite for more metal!!!

First of all don't listen to Amy M or Matt, the bands they named suck. Everyone else has the right idea. I would say, get into classic black metal first because it is some of the best stuff in the world, and where almost all extreme metal is rooted from (Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate). Also classic death metal (Death, Possessed, Athiest, Macabre) and thrash that usually isn't mentioned in the mainstream (Sepultura, Kreator, Sodom, Sadus, Annihilator, Nuclear Assault). As for modern death metal I'd say Bloodbath, Carcass, Cryptopsy, Dying Fetus, Deicide, Entombed, Gorguts, Grave, Morbid Angel, Necrophagist, Obituary, Psycroptic, Sleep Terror, and Suffocation are essentials. I know that can get a little overwhelming, but take your time. As for black metal, Mayhem (early stuff is their best), Immortal (cheesey as hell but classic none the less), Darkthrone (I actually prefer their death metal releases but their black metal is considered the standard), Burzum, Carpathian Forest, Emperor, Drudkh, Nokturnal Mortem, Enslaved, Gehenna, Gorgoroth, Graveland, Horna, Archgoat, Beherit, Behexen, Moonsorrow, Primordial, Sigh, Summoning, Sarcofago, Falkenbach, Vreid, and Windir.

What is the best drum kit for rock/metal?

I have a ludwig 5 piece drum kit and I'm wanting to buy a new drum kit for rock/metal. I've heard ddrums is a good brand for it but I don't know what to buy. Any suggestions? Also what is the best cymbals for rock/metal?

I'd say Pearl drum kits. Very high quality, professionally used by famous drummers. I'm not a drummer, but I am a guitarist, and nearly every music store I've ever been in has a few Pearl drum kits.
