i had the same problem. it sounds stupid and cheezily out of some physical education film, but you need to stretch, and then some. warm up before a show or practice. there is no specific way, anything you can do to stretch any muscles you use for drumming, do it. even if you look like a jackass. it makes a world of difference.

Open handed FTW

The best prevention involves implementing the following measures: stretching regularly, adequate fluid intake, appropriate calcium and vitamin D intake, supplemental vitamin E, and possibly -- with physician consultation -- supplemental magnesium intake

(taken from a medical info page about muscle cramps)

Make sure you are always hydrated by drinking lots of water.
