Do rudiment exercises with one hand, and then switch hands. Go slow with exaggerated proper technique movement. As your mind & body memorize the slower speed movements, your ability limit will improve to faster speeds naturally.
Excellent advice!
And, as kay-gee suggested, try setting the drums up "backwards"--the larger drums on your left as opposed to the smaller ones...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
