I've Enjoyed:
http://vicfirth.com/40-essential-rudiments/ - this is a good place to start imo, all you need is a practice pad and a pair of sticks.
http://www.snarescience.com/index.php - some crazy difficult Drum Corps stuff on here.
Realistic Rock - rock based rhythms. Decent book.
Art of Bop Drumming - I'm currently in the process of learning to play jazz, and I couldn't imagine a better starting point.
I've heard great things about:
Stick Control - many people would suggest you start here, it's a classic.
Chart Topping Drum Beats - this looks like a fantastic place to start learning reading music for drum set.
Jojo Mayer's Secret Weapons Part 1 - goes over hand technique.
Jojo Mayer's Secret Weapons II - covers foot technique.
The Drumset Musician - covers many different styles.
As for videos, Drumeo has a Youtube channel with plenty of quality information.
My personal opinion on hand / foot technique is watch a variety of lessons / other drummers and just find what works for you.
ahh! I'm sorry. Here are the two books and some general tips.
I can offer more tips about playing set, snare, mallet instruments, hand drums, buying a set, reading music etc. Send me a PM.
Sorry this took so long, I had my drum books stashed away (recently moved) and I needed to remember the names.

After setting up your DW practice kit, drive your practice Rolls Royce to the music store and buy Realistic Rock.
Have you ever heard of the book - "Realistic Rock"? It's got Carmine Appice's name on it. It's actually a really good book just for getting into reading basic rock grooves. I use it for beginner students, but the book does quickly progress into challenging stuff. There are multiple "ways" you can practice the grooves, so you can really use the book for a while. Here's an Amazon link:

get these books and read them and you will truly learn to beat smith. starts with the hands first then the feet, then the hands and the feet. i live by these books and remember that slower and more accurate practicing is 1000 times more important that fast and sloppy. get solid and have fun swingin.

this is a stand by too my man
Here's a couple of really awesome things I would have loved to know about when I was first starting out:
Vic Firth Knowledge base. They have a bunch of free video lessons on their website. Absolutely fantastic:

Drumeo probably has the best video lessons on youtube. Here:

Stick control is a great book too, but don't jump right into it before you have some basics down. It's a good 2nd book or supplement to what you are primarily working on.
