The best, most efficient and easiest way to do it is single stroke roll (alternating right and left). If you want, pick up the book "Stick Control" by Georges Lawrence Stone and do the exercises with your feet instead of your hands. Not that you will necesarily need these skills but mastering them will have you play easier stuff alot more easily and accuratly.

When you first start to practice single stroke roll on the bass drum practice it in quarter notes, 8th notes, 8th notes triplets and 16th notes, you can even go to sixtuplets if you want.

One exercise that helped me alot is, keep 8th notes on the hi-hat and a 2 & 4 standard back beat on the snare and play all subdivision on the bass drum, starting on quarter notes, going all the way up to 32nd and then back to quarter notes. That means 2 bars of quarter notes, 2 bars of 8th, 2 bars of 8th triplets, 2 bars of 16th, 2 of quituplets, 2 of sixtuplets, 2 of 7, 2 of 32nd and back down. If you want a transcription of that exercise e-mail me.

Hope this helps.

Alternate left and right slowly and evenly. Increase speed slowly. As you become proficient at one speed, pick it up. Keep doing this in increments until you can do it at any speed whenever you want to.
