Does anyone have tips to be a better drummer?
...other than "practice, practice, practice." I've been doing that. 
I'm 16. I own my own drum set. Play it every day constantly learning new beats, but I want more. It just doesn't seem like I'm learning enough. Everything I also know I taught myself. I live in a very small community where I'm probably the only REAL drummer in a 30 miles radius. Any ideas on how I can improve even more?
The best way to improve yourself besides "practice...practice...practice" is to listen and play along with songs and push yourself to play something different than what the drummer plays on the recording. Try to play something that is better.
Another great idea is to learn or play along to a different style of music. If you're used to playing 4/4 rock songs play something that is in a different time signature or a different genre such as latin beats which are more syncopated than straight rock beats. The best drummers out there are the ones who are willing to blend many different styles into what they play.
Besides just different time signatures and genres, try different techniques too. Try a different stick grip or a different way of hitting your bass (for example heel up in the air picking your whole foot up after each hit...or....heel down so your heel is flat and you only pick your toes up)
If you are used to playing with a single bass drum pedal, consider buying a double pedal and teaching yourself how to use that.
Finally there are many great drum instructional videos out there (some of which you can find free on-line) that will teach you something new to work on.
The most important thing is to become a well-rounded player...try these things, I have and I think I'm a better drummer because of it. Most importantly you have to keep pushing yourself to become better, never be satisfied with where you are at and you'll continue to grow...
good luck
