What I found with my double pedals is that at first, you cant do much. I couldnt keep a straight rhythm going, all i could play was triplets (like 2 kick hits, [1 with each foot] and then a snare) i then worked on trying to keep a straight continuous "dum dum dum dum dum" going, but couldnt, so I just kept on conentrating on the triplets, getting faster and faster with them.
Then came the relevation of the continuous "dum dum dum" i mentioned. I found it came natureurally, i wasnt even really trying to play like that, it kindve just happened

All at the same i found I could play fairly fast with them as well like 16th's. This was after I'd had the pedals for around a year and a half (with 2 months of non-play). Now Ive had them for just over 2 years and i can keep a fast pace going for quite a while, and I can play instead of just triplets, with 2 kick beat and a snare, I can play 3 kick beats and then a snare - Sounds awesome. :lol:
I might mention that ive never had a drum lesson, so i dunno if this has impeded my double kick "skillz" but anyhow.
As for you, I just recommend that you dont try and acomplsih too much too soon. Take it easy and after to you feel competant with them, go for the speed.
Have fun man, I know i did / am
