Indeed. These might be pretty instructional, or at least inspirational:

Actually there are so many fantastic videos on YouTube, available for free, it's
astounding. Who do you want to study? Vinnie Colaiuta? Terry Bozzio? Steve Gadd?
Stewart Copeland? Back when I was a kid, you had to buy instructional videos and
they cost a lot of money. Nowadays you can just fire up teh YouTubes and see any
amazing musician you care to FOR FREE! It's a resource I would have killed for
when I was a kid.
I recommend that you watch Dave Weckl instructional videos:

These are from his Natural Evolution DVDs. It really helped me to learn how to hold
sticks!
And finally, you can do this:

Or at least try ;-)

I am wondering, what is a good way to learn some
drumming? I was
thinking of just buying a snare drum and two sticks...
31 years ago I bought a pair of sticks. I couldn't afford the drum,
so I used cardboard boxes. These days you could use a 5 gallon
plastic bucket, like street drummers sometimes use. It doesn't
matter how you start; just start. Lessons will speed up your
learning, and keep you from falling into traps from teaching yourself.
You could get an instructional video too.
Not just drums, and not just funk or jazz either. How 'bout this:

Pick your virtuoso, type their name into YouTube, watch, listen, and learn. The
sky's the limit.
