I`d go get lessons.. Cuz websites can`t show you how to do stuff and if you don`t know what your doing you might give up and the drum set will just sit there and that`ll be a waste of money.. ♥ Dez

Honestly, I can't imagine a website would be a very good way to teach someone drums. I mean, you might be able to see descriptions of some patterns, but it won't really help you to play. Best bet is to actually sit behind a set and play some simple patters. Generally start with alternating snare / bass drum while playing straight 4s on the hi-hat. (boom - thud - boom - thud, all while hitting the hi-hat every time). After you have that down with quarter notes, you play eigth notes on the hi-hat while continuing the alternating snare/bass, with the snare on 1,3 and the bass on 2,4.

Also, if you really are getting a kit, make sure you ask for a metronome as well to keep tempo (assuming you don't already have one).
