I've heard that if you don't want to take lessons and you are playing an currently existing song, you can play along with the song, even if the drums are included.

you could always start posting your things in the main drum forum instead of the cymbol and procussion forum but that being said maybe i can still help out. Dont get too ahead of your self just listing to songs and trying to jump in take it slowly. Also if your trying to learn your self drum books will come in incredibaly handy.
