Hey Corey just practice a lot. You'll get better by doing them over and over and over again. You have to build up muscle memory.
Whats a good way to practice when at home and you need to be quiet? I just got rubber tips to put on the end of my sticks to get good bounce when practicing on hard surfaces, so I figure rudiments is as far as I can go.
Also, anybody got any good weak hand practice methods? Anything at all would be helpful.

For weak hand practice methods, a great book is Stick Control. It's about $8 and it helps develop speed, power, endurance, and the weak hand. Here are some excercises. Just repeat them 20 times each. Then try to do them all in a row.
RLRL (Single Stroke Roll)
LRLR
RRLL (Double Stroke Roll)
LLRR
RLRR (Parididdle)
LRLL

There are endless combinations of these excercises. They get boring after a while, but if you "stick with it" (cheesy drummer pun), you'll see results in a week or two.
I agree with "Dat le" Stick Control (by George Stone I think) is a great book.
Good advice!
