3days?? a week??
i took 6months man! 10mins everyday.
and a year, to perfect it.
my instructor took 2years, but that's coz he did them for both traditional and match grips plus he practised with different sticks.
are you SURE you guys got it?
3days....man.

erm.
can i be honest?
you're depending too much on the rebounds. and you're right handed?
you're playing like
R R L l
(the second left is weaker than the rest).
meaning bouncing too much.

sure. 
simply put, you have to PLAY your double strokes and not bouce them.
not sure about you, but i changed grip just to get my doubles right.
i'm currently using match palms side(palms facing each other and not down when playing) so i'm use my fingers more than my wrists for doubles.
thing is when you hit your first stroke, there's a certain bouce right? when the stick comes back up(from the bounce), use your fingers(3rd 4th and 5th) to grip the stick again(your hand will automatically open up when you downstroke), and push the stick down to the snare again. THAT's your second stroke.
prac till all strokes are as even-sounding as possible.

I took about three months to get it really right, 1st few months were frustrating as shit man! all the uneven bird shit all come out, basket. but it kinda paid off after i passed the three month mark.
Becomes more clear and concise, and the can alternate between single and double.. My instructor always reminds me to practise singles and doubles at the same speed.. eg:
200bpm 16th note
rlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl
rrllrrllrrllrrll
the just keep looping, that kinda stuf mainly.. Also paradidles and other different kinda strokes might help like the 5 stroke the 6 stroke 7 stroke, so on and so forth..
Just make sure your going on 90 percent wrist and 10 percent bounce. If you rely to much on bouce theres no control to your strokes.
Or if you use your fingers then its all good man! i personally would love to learn how to use the fingers. the worlds fastes drummer technique. been trying but danm its frustrating. lol!
Carpe Diem!!
