coragryph is correct. If you wish to register the copyright, the link below is the website of the US Copyright Office. That is a good place to start.

it has to be in fixed form, so you need to be write out the tabulature or sheet music style. at that point it is yours to hold and protect. however if someone else uses an identical or similar beat, which they did not get from you, that is not an infringement. it would take an admission of theft on the other party for you to be able to get an infringement judgement. so it might not really be worth your while. most drummers think their improvisations are original, no matter how ordinary it sounds.
