if you have a hobby, ask yourself this. are you passionate about your hobby? Are you passionate about drumming?
If you're really interested and can feel for drumming so much that you crave it every minute you're away from the kit, then with or without drum lessons you will progress.
as they say, the only thing better than one person progressing, is group progress (that means, find a band) most importantly as dull theater highlighted, jam more and more and more and more
just practice as often as you can, and always try to listen to new stuff and replicate. (well thats how i learnt. heh...) and soon you will realise that your drumming will evolve with you musically.
like i was once into pop/punk, and i really digged travis barker (blink-182) and alex rodriguez (saosin). but now i more into metal, chris adler, jason bitter, travis smith. and i realised how my drumming changed.
from the usual grooves that i sit at my throne to warm up, to me pushing 180bpm on the double pedals.
"monkey see, monkey do" (i'm not calling you a monkey, but SEE what other people are doing. and DO it too.) sooner or later you'll devolop your own style.
BUT if you find that you've been practicing long enough and you're not getting anywhere, i suggest that you look for one-on-one drum lessons.
