Speaking as a drummer, get some lessons. If you learn from someone else you learn the same basic washout rythems they know then everything you play is just a variation of the same pattern over and over. That does not equal talent, it equals repitition. You don't neccessairly have to get books but I recommend fundamental books to get the basics down, I.E just snare drum books. Learn concert techniques first, then switch over to Jazz, cause if you can play Jazz you can play anything.
