So yeah my practice has devolved (player broke down so only the right earbud works) into listening to the metronome and banging out singles with my feet and practicing rolls with my hands.
I put the metronome on 70bpm and bang out sixteenths with my feet alternating, working more on my left because it loses control at 76 bpm @ 16ths. Occasionally I work on endurance and control with speeding up to 32nd notes, going as long as I can clean.
With single stroke rolls I work mostly on my left hand finger control which breaks down at 200 bpm and starts going stiff. It's been stuck there for a while now, with my wrist going crazy and back stiffens when I try to work on endurance @ 200. I use 150-160 bpm for blasts beats and rolls currently to work on my fingers on both hands. My timing has improved so I think the work has paid off somewhat. It's no longer just trying to fit the notes in between the clicks, but more like jamming while relaxed.
I gotta get a teacher soon with my practice being so simple minded, but hopefully I haven't been too far off with this sort of work.
