How I did it: Learned guitar hero world tour first, then bought Yamaha DD65 and connected it to guitar hero.  then bought metallica, then bought double pedal, then learned metallica expert+, then played at a corporate event (practiced DD65 and rented a studio for an hour to practice real drums) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_1qgS3-4y0, then bought Roland TD4 and practiced some more, then played a concert at another corporate event =)

Lessons & tips: start with guitar hero, when you can do around 10-20 songs at expert, start to learn real drums - get someone who can teach dynamics, ie. how to hit the drums so it doesn't sound flimsy and lousy, then practice... and practice some more.
