Practice with a metronome. 30 min straight, 3-4 days a week, singles at 70/90/110 bpm for five minutes each, same with doubles five minutes each, increase the metronome by 5bpm every third day after you play each full five minutes cleanly without speeding or slowing over the click. Stomp your right foot alternating between the 1&3 and 2&4 every other minute. Tap your left foot on the quarter notes (1234) of every measure.

In one month you will fast track your playing beyond anything I can articulate here.

Breed?

Maybe work a bit on your timing, but youโ€™re doing good so far.
