I cannot get my feet working right. They always try to do the same things my hands do, any suggestions?

Practice coordination really, really slowly. Your brain can actually only focus on one limb at a time, the other three work pretty much on auto-pilot. You have to practice slow to give yourself a chance to program the muscle memory. Practice slowly and work speed up very gradually. That might seem obvious, but it's the only way to improve coordination. Modern drummer recently did a feature issue on coordination, even if you don't normally read that mag (crying shame if you don't), I reccomend that you pick that one up.

Cool, thanks for the reply. I'll check that out, and practice.

Sounds like your feet are broken. Better get new ones.

Like was already said. Practice slowly. Very slowly. 8th note triplets and 16ths at about 70-80 BPM with a basic straight-8 pattern on the HH & snare.
