Realistic 33-919 as a condenser for stereo overhead drums Behringer b1 for vocals
I recommend to buy an audio-interface (i have the Thomann Swissonic Audio-1) with two channels for input, one for "normal" 6.3mm-jack, one XLR-input with microphone-amp for dynamic Microphones and phantom-power for microphones that need powering. Its about 50 to 60 Euros. As a mike i have a Behringer B1 for about 50€ and have also a cheap china-Shure SM58-clone ( 10 Euros) that also sounds not so bad. With an added pop-filter (DIY, using ladies nylon-socks) its really cool.
At your stage, it doesn't matter. A dynamic will generally be more durable, but a condenser will generally provide a more detailed response. A condenser will need 48v phantom power from an audio interface or preamp. A dynamic will function as a hammer in case of emergency. My recommendation, and I will be hammered for this, is buy both. Get a Behringer large diaphragm condensor and their SM58 clone. You'll have enough left over from the price of a 58 to buy a cheap stand, and those mics will serve you well forever if you look after them. As you learn your craft and preferences, you'll be well informed when you buy your first premium mic.
