For me, not all 40; just the ones I use most often...
Paradiddles (and inverted)
Paradiddle-diddles
six-stroke roll
double-stroke roll and variations (5,7,9, 13, 10, 17, etc.)
Flam variations
etc.
Also, not in a disciplined, regimented way. Just casually.
Though, that would be good for a beginner.

If you want to really learn them, only focus on a few at a time.

Singles, doubles, and flams. Learn those first. Until you have control over them you'll be wasting time with the more complex rudiments.

Negative. Leave the buzz roll out and reduce the speed to 60bpm until you can play cleanly. Then move it up by 2bpm a day, staying at any difficult BPM until you're comfortable at it.

To improve your timing.

It's useful, but you should be able to control a double-stroke first so your double's don't turn into buzz rolls.
Not only will playing slow improve your timing, like Drumur said, it will also increase your control.

Ok then  I'll listen to your tips anyway you probably know what your talking about. So only 60bpm with quarter notes ? Because on my metronom i have the bpm and then i can add sounds in between like eight notes sixteenth

Yep, Quarter Note = 60bpm. It's always helpful to set the divisions up.
