Is one of them humming A Train?

A very organic way to develop independence, which is probably more akin to the way the early jazz drummers approached their lines Mixing this into the more academic examples you find in the likes of Jim Chapin’s Advanced Techniques for The Modern Drummer (which is a must read for all jazz drummers!), you should have all you need!
