Straight eighths are a pretty solid exercise to play if you are just looking to build strength and endurance. Pick up George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control book if you don't have it. It has a lot of really good exercises to work with.

Actually, I am ambidextrous...

But, in all seriousness one of your hands will always be stronger than the other.

You might as well just work them both.

Stick Control is a great book. Practice it with a metronome and it will build your time and technique together.

And yes, this is a great book.

It will be the best 10 bucks you ever spend.

This was good advice, that's hard as hell... I'm sure it will get easier with time...
