Fast Double Bass 'Problems'

SO! I'm an Expert+ drummer and Play Heel up most of the time,
but the problem is that I can keep about 6 seconds of solid double bass
notes at a considerable pace, (Beast and the Harlot, Battery Ending/Outro etc.)but after that I end up double hitting

,
meaning both my feet hit at the same time instead of RLRL and then event
ually get back into RLRL, but any tips for 'Anti-Double Hitting' If thats what you'd call it

?

Thanks,
Lew

wait, your saying that whilst in a fast bass pattern u manage to play both feet together? imo that wud be harder than getting the required speed rofl. i guess the logical response would be just keep playing and you will get more consistant and your legs will get stronger

maybe when your not doing much, ie browsing scorehero, just let your legs fall into a double bass pattern and just keep at it until your pro

This was also my problem when I first started playing drums double bass style. The problem for me was my left leg was pretty undeveloped, as in it couldn't play as fast or as accurately as my right leg. I'd suggest trying regular songs with your left leg only to build coordination, and then try alternating between both legs.
