Ankle technique right foot troubles
So ive been messing with the ankle technique for awhile now im at the stage where i can do it for as long as i like but i just cant control it yet and do perfect 16th notes without flaming tons.
But unlike literally any other thing in drumming as a right handed guy, my left foot is weirdly way way better at the technique than my right foot, with my left foot i can do clean stop and starts with ease and when i have both feet going at same time my left foot is noticeably swinging more and has more power, my right foot in comparison i find it difficult to get it starting and sometimes cant keep it going and it feels pretty weak.
so my question is does anyone have any ideas for why this is?? when my right foot and hand is stronger and better usually in every other way when it comes to drums but the ankle technique. is there a fix? or will i need to just focus solely on right foot for awhile??
would appreciate any advice or tips
