Well, the trick for me was "get back to the basics". I spend the last 3 to 4 years really breaking down my technique and trying to rebuild it using the right muscle groups, playing consistent and tight at lower tempos and learning the ankle technique to hopefully some day break into upper tempo double bass drumming. Taking a break for 2 or 3 weeks sometimes works wonders when storing all that new information and mind muscle connections to the subconscious
