Drum is a little bit different from other musical instrument. When others need their musical instrument to practice, (keyboardists need keyboard, guitarists need guitar, bassists need bass, violinists need violin, etc), drum does not. A drummer just need to capitalize a pair of drumstick , drumpad and a meronome.

octagonal drumpad |
These three items are quiet cheap, and usually every drummer have it. Although you didn't have a drumpad, you can use your floor as the drumpad. However, it will produce a louder noise than using a drumpad, but it's ok. For metronome, you guys can use traditional metronome, digital metronome, or metronome app in your smartphone. For the app, I recommend you to use Drummer's Metronome by Stefan Pedl.

One bar equal 4 beats
1/4: There are 4 hits in every 1 bar; 1 hit every 1 beats.
1/8: There are 8 hits in every 1 bar; 2 hits every 1 beats.
1/16: There are 16 hits in every 1 bar; 4 hits every 1 beats,
1/32: There are 32 beats in every 1 bar; 8 hits every 1 tick.
And so on
Practice without metronome for 10-15 minutes, Practice with metronome 10-15 minutes too.
And so on
