If you insist on self-learning then you can check the beginner books from Hal Leonard such as

1) DRUMMING THE EASY WAY!
The Beginner's Guide to Playing Drums for Students and Teachers
Series: Percussion
Publisher: Cherry Lane Music

2) FASTTRACK DRUM METHOD - BOOK 1
by Blake Neely & Rick Mattingly
Series: Fast Track Music Instruction

And do a search on youtube on proper stick grip to make sure you know how the hands should look like when executing a stroke...staring at pictures from the books will not teach you the proper motions...

Good Luck!

Personally, I like Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials. It is rather easy to understand and good to learn a variety of grooves.

Have fun discovering!
