There is no end. We can keep on learning. Even the most professional drummer in the world mention them as still beginners and every time they sit on a drum kit, they still learn new stuff. But if you put some serious effort, you can be a professional in it.

There is no rocket signs. More you practice more you gain. Technique is more important in Drums. So, to be a proficient drummer, it could be 8months or 1year depending on your practice
