There are a couple of great books out there with exercises for double bass drumming. Carmine Apice said in an interview that he just practices with his feet, everything he does with his hands.

Practicing doubles, paradiddles, single stroke rolls, sixtuplets, will all help with your playing. Treat your feet like your hands and you will see a major difference. Also, most players tend to play faster by using your toes on the pedals and heals up vs. heals flat on the ground and using your whole foot.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice!!!

Good luck!

you just gotta keep practicing it. nothign special to do really unless you ask a drum teacher or friend who can do it faster for tips. its just practice. and slowly you'll learn ways to make yourself go the fastest and it makes your legs stronger. but other than that, nothin else really. just practice

get rid of the second one. double pedals suck.
