Don't pay for drum lessons! I did that and all I learnt was "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and.." you do that counting thing on the high hat and then bring everything else in with it sort of thing..
Get tips from YouTube!
There's an American guy called Bob Gatzen on there who is VERY good at teaching you how to tune and maintain your drum kit!
My only advice would be to be mindful of how you arrange your kit, your stool height and where your snare sits positioned and height and so on.
