[Kipper is King]

I'm not a drummer, but I think you really should go and get some lessons at a place like Sak's Music or somewhere. I used to play trombone, and it was amazing how rapidly I improved playing an hour a week with someone who actually knows what they are doing.

While playing the drums is simple on the surface, I imagine there are quite a few nuances to being a good drummer. Get lessons, at least for a little while, and you'll improve rapidly.

Good luck!
