Frank's right hand never goes down to the floor tom. I took a screenshot at the point of this fill:
He probably has played it differently live just like many other musicians do, that is, not playing what they've recorded exactly as they did in the studio. All I know is that if you listen to the original recording, there is no double kick going on there. There are also quite a few drum charts you can find and they vary as to what is played, but, I've yet to find one that shows double kick being used. It's a simple triplet alternating between the toms and the kick with a flam thrown in. Once you break it down, it's not really that difficult once you've spent some time working on it. I would just do what you can do and what feels and sounds best as you play it.
