My blasting hand

Alright, I'm trying to build up endurance and speed in my left hand. I like blasting but I'm having trouble keeping up. Does anyone have any advice for building up endurance/speed in my hand?

Thanks. That's what my instructor told me too. Just gets old after a while of sitting there banging a stick...but oh well, it'll be worth it, eh?

im slower in my left than right also, but it seems to be my wrist and not my fingers. What happends is that when i try going fast with my left, my fingers and wrist will not go synchronized to the same degree as my right....with my right my wrist will alway follow the speed of my fingers, even though at high speeds its my fingers that do most of the work, but still my wrist kinda compliment the movement by moving at the same speed
so ive been doing some left hand exercises where i just hit with my wrist, keeping my fingers locked on the stick....hoping that will improve the left hand
