I was self tought so I never really knew how to practice correctly . I cant seem to figure out a proper routine. Iv been told to just play some basics with the less dominant side of my body, but there has to be a better routine. Please help with any suggestions.

if yeah can read music, get a book called stick control and work it the way the book suggests and you will see a big improvement.

yea do that. Have a look at excercises and like dude said before, try leading with your left hand or using your left hand on the high hats.
