Well really, you did answer your own question... Practice...
But here's an exercise that might help a bit... Grab your sticks only with your thumb and index... Only use your wrists to tap and for more speed/power use your middle finger and flick the stick... Now the thing that can really really help you is the following: Once you get off your kit, take a muffle pad for drums and take a thin notebook.... place it under the pad and practice with that.... Don't push it too hard but keep it steady and slowly increase your speed.... Once your very comfortable take one hand and do 8ths for 2 mins, 16ths for 2 mins, and 32nds for 2 mins... Then repeat with other hand....
It'll take time but you'll get to it....
