Alternatively / my personal preference and hot tip: Start with rhythm. Get a practice pad and some drum sticks and a free metronome app or website and try doing single, double, quarter and triple notes (I'm naming triples later because they're an odd number and as a first-time drummer they did me a bamboozle at the time).
Then there's some exercises you can do with just paper and pens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eqLmkWOU6A
A really versatile, affordable and fairly compact percussion instrument you can start off with as well is the Bodhrán; you can make some really great beats with it, see e.g. the opening scene of the film The Magdalene Sisters, just bodhrán and singing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxXFs8EL35o. Here's another version of the same song where the artist plays it with just his hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mjWhMn-VnU
