Drumming Tips

But seriously, start off with a simple 4/4 time to gain competency, and go from there. Also get a pad a freaking practice your rolls.

Yeah. Also, learn how to tell the difference between time signatures. Learn how to feel a song out. And what I think to be the most important, play with a good amount of flexability. Don't hammer down a part so hard that it becomes difficult to do anything different from it. If you become a good flexable player, you'll be able to adapt quickly to any situation that may pop up, and it also helps you write your own parts faster.
And for christs sake, have fun, and play for the love of playing. I'm sick of seeing so many drummers take themselves so seriously that they forget to have fun, and it ends up hurting their playing.
As far as stick spins go, can't really help you. I'm a student of the "you're a drummer, they hear you, not see you," school of playing, so I never bother learning

Listen to Led Zeppelin and aspire to be half the badass that John Bonham (rest his soul) was.
Everest:
Don't give up!
Patrick:
And shag lots of groupies! Shagging groupies makes all drummers better.
