there's really no shortcut to being able to play fast. but some general tips are that both your hands must go at the same speed, start off slow before increasing, practice practice practice.
over time you'll really he really ain't that fast. many drummers our that are way faster

Haha I don't think you will break your wrist. If you know you are straining then don't force it. Speed can come with comfort too.

2 ways.
1) either train up your speed, slowly with a practise pad using your arms and your wrist.
OR,
2) you could change technique and use your fingers when it comes to a fast part in any song, and this is especially helpful for travis barker songs. fingers help you play faster and sustain the fast beat in a steady rhythm for a longer time.
so yeah, these are basically the two tips i have la. good luck! ;D
P.S I have to see this Buddy Rich guy. 20 single strokes a second? wow.

did you just say "this Buddy Rich guy?"
he's the most influential drummer of all time. revolutionized the drumming world. he doesn't go for speed and technique, it comes to him naturally. he's by far one of the most creative and musical drummers of all time.
but he's a bit of a douchebag as a person...haha. always shouting at people cuz they make mistakes..

Get a body full of tattooes , wear 3/4 pants , get some sneakers , pull your clean white socks REALLY high , shiny bling bling belt , a cap , and some piercings .
oh , and remain topless 95% of the time . the other 5% would be XXL t shirt.
for his "hi-hat" speed , get a practice pad , metronome , and play 16th or 8th notes at a speed you're comfortable with . then increase the metronome by 10bpm each time .
hit the snare on every 3 , and at the same time , headbang and do it really hard . so it's like .. 1 , 2 , *HEADBANG* , 4 . 1 , 2 , *HEADBANG* , 4.
and one of travis barker's favourite fill is to go from the snare , RLRL (KK) , to the left tom , RLRL (KK) , to the right tom , RLRL (KK) , to the floor tom , RLRL (KK) , and crash .
he do it REAL fast , so make sure you do it too .
