Instead of working out, just spend more time practicing. Drummers are always ripped.

Other than practicing, develop good and varied music taste. Learn to play covers for songs of various genres.

Record youtube videos then post here for feedback.

I play the drums, and the only barrier I had to get over before I got good was my hands and my legs. I couldn't have two different beats, I practiced and practiced till I got it to work :D Then I'd turn on the radio and try to mimic what I heard. I got to drum comps in Columbus once a year, I usually finish in the top 10 with a good reward. Drums are very fun to play, I prefer it over the guitar, as you get to use your whole body to make music :yay:

It's all in the wrist.
Don't tense up your whole hand/arm otherwise you're gonna get tired pretty quick.

all you need is chops!! lol jk
ive been playin drums for about 4 years now and really the best thing you can do is take lessons unless you are naturally good which most arent.
i started out with http://freedrumlessons.com/ its a good start but sooner or later you are gonna want to start getting real lessons. they are expensive but i believe they are worth it (opinion)
