I agree with the guy above me, his interpretation sounds very close to the meaning + story of the song meant to inspire change in people. And whether the song is saying 'expiration' or 'inspiration' at the end of the song, death is what inspires and determines creation of all beings. Death is what drives and changes, re-shapes all things. Re-creation.
So I think the most important message of the song is to say to all, that whatever is holding you back from your fate, your volition to create, you must overcome to transcend the hardships. So when he says 'let the drummer kick that' he's saying 'find a passion and a purpose to surpass your shortcomings and embrace a destiny of your choosing'. Let the beat of life, the drummer, your heart, the will to live, kick the poison of sin and convulsion.
If he's saying 'let the drummer kid die', then to those who hear it, he's saying leave those childish distractions and vices behind and grasp a better life. Not necessarily better, but more appropriate to your desires to fulfill your place on earth as a human being.
