I have an exercise I love. It helps build short hand speed all the way to building strength and endurance.
With each hand separate first.
Do two 8th notes followed by four 16th notes.
1 & 2E&A3 & 4E&A
Then double that
so four 8th notes followed by eight 16th notes.
1 & 2 & 3e&a4e&a
Then do a full measure of each
eight 8th notes and sixteen 16th notes
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1E&A2E&A3E&A4E&A
Now you should practice this with each hand separately for a minute straight.
Then try the same patterns with hands together.
