    I was in a similar position when I was 16, but I play guitar. I was self-taught, having played for 3 years, and I was absolutely CRAP. I'm not just saying that either. I went into the interview and played Wonderwall, No Woman No Cry, and I busted out some really ropey bar chords.

    I knew I wasn't much good, but I showed up and did what I could, and they put me on the course! When I showed up for our first day, I was easily the worst musician there, hands down!

    You'll be fine. They'll need drummers anyway!

    I'm a drumer. I've taken lessons and the only thing they really teach you is page music.. but I learned a lot. Don't worry. Just drum from the heart I'm sure you'll do okay..

    Do you read music ? If they put music in front of you, can you tell them all about it from the sheets

    And to be honest if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will ever, others will only believe you are as good as you think you are.
