Just to expand on the idea presented beow, try ham-bone type stuff. You use your own bady parts and dont have to pay for drums. If you get good at it you can use it in a show, too.

Maybe work with some drumming, doesn't have to be a whole kit, maybe a hand drum or a snare with brushes. Drum basics are a very good way to begin as a musician and if the rhythm aspect is bypassed it will often come back to haunt you.
