I'm not really sure I understand this question, but I'll try my best.
When determining how many pieces of a drumset, the cymbals are not included. Ever. Cymbals are extra and are not included in the "pieces" of a drumet, as only the actually drums are counted. A drumset with three toms, a snare drum, a bass drums, hi-hat, crash, ride and splash is a five piece drum set because it has three toms, one bass and on snare. 3+1+1=5. if you took the same drumset and added one bass, two toms, two crashes and a splash, it would still only be an eight piece set. 5 (toms) + 2 (basses) +1 (snare) = eight (drums).
I'm not sure if this answers your question or not, but I hope it sets you in the right direction.
A lot depends on the shape it's in, and what the brand is. $1,000.00 for a name brand, without cymbals. Then, an old set might be $500.00, in reasonable shape with cymbals. Like I say, it depends on the brand and the hardware, and extras.
The phrase "without hardware" means that the set includes drums, but no stands for things such as cymbals.
A 4-piece has 2 toms and a 5-piece has 3 toms.
The most basic drum kit is a 4-piece: snare drum, bass drum, mounted/rack tom, and a floor tom. Also, 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash cymbal, and a 20" ride are pretty standard. The sizes aren't that important, but these sizes are the most common. It's possible to get by without a floor tom or a ride cymbal if absolutely necessary, but the set up listed is pretty bare boned as it is.
18 pieces? Even with two snares (one off one on) and double bass drums, you would still need 14 toms to make an 18 piece drum kit. Remember, pieces does not refer to the cymbals, percussion pieces, and hardware. Only the drums. I don't think you can even buy 14 Pearl Export toms of different sizes.
When purchasing an electric drum set, key features to consider include the quality of the drum pads, the variety of sounds available, the responsiveness of the drum module, the durability of the hardware, and the compatibility with additional accessories or software.
A 4-piece drum set typically includes a bass drum, a snare drum, a floor tom, and a mounted tom.
Some popular drum set setups used by professional drummers include the 4-piece, 5-piece, and 6-piece configurations. The 4-piece setup typically includes a bass drum, snare drum, and two toms. The 5-piece setup adds an additional floor tom, while the 6-piece setup includes even more toms and cymbals for a larger and more versatile sound.

Depends on the brand and quality my first set was $200 it was a P.O.S but it worked to get me started. I've spent a lot more money on improving my drum set with new drum heads, cymbals and hardware.

A tuba. There's really no such thing as a "standard" drum set. Charlie Watts and Neil Peart are both drummers, but Charlie uses a four-piece drum set and Neil uses forty or fifty pieces.
