Even with a second bass drum, no muffling doesn’t really sound good at higher speeds. Past a certain point it all bleeds together and sounds like a fart. I’m not saying it can’t be done but to pull it off you need to know exactly what you are doing.
Maybe something like this would look better to you. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002D0DVQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_D5Q4BbN2C9QTG
You can also use tape or something.
If I could give some advice for starting double bass. Learn on one pedal and get your lead foot in order, then move toward your weaker foot. It will save a lot of head ache.
If you can afford to go over that, I would suggest the kit from the link you provided, this hardware pack and this snare to round it all out.
I have a Roland TD-17 now, but before that I had a Yamaha DTXPlorer with the same double bass pedal I use today, and it still worked there just fine even though the Yamaha kick trigger was much smaller.
This is the pedal I use, which was on the cheaper end of what I found in brand names I had actually heard of. So far it's held up after about 2 years of regular use, but adjustments to positioning and feel have consistently been a huge pain.
Also, if you have a hi-hat trigger that needs a physical stand, a two-legged stand is going to fit a lot better with a double bass pedal than a three-legged one.
im pretty sure ive settled on this one for him....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064RSTQK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AIMZUKBRH6H15
DW 9002? For $350? I think you're thinking of another pedal. They are typically $580.
I should know, I just bought a used 9002 for $320 and thought it was an incredible deal.

i found this available in my country. but i dont know the brand. there are really good reviews. i can get dual chained mapex instead? wouldnt dual chain be better?
You talking about the $40 one? You probably are not going to find anything cheaper than that without building it yourself.

I've got a Pearl Vision Bop kit (18 bass, all the shells are birch) that I absolutely love. Not sure if you can still find them, but I would recommend them any day. The snare was quickly replaced but the toms and bass are great.
I use this lift:

I use this thing for my 18" bass drum and it works wonderfully. I can't see any reason it wouldn't work for a floor tom. It rests just behind the hoop. The rubber holds it in place and it doesn't move. I especially love that it doesn't require any modification or clamping. Might be worth looking into for your floor tom.
Thanks for the advice, I think I am going to buy these

Probably going to try to find a lower price at my local shops though.
I use the PDP 502.
