deedubyas recommended this book to me:

It's ok so far. It gets all 4 limbs moving which is nice. Also... when working on double bass, I often just follow regular rudiment practice with my feet. pretend they are your hands and do all the same stuff with them.

that's all I can offer so far, I'm no expert.

What I did was I started by practicing the bass drum beat, then I'd add the snare, then the highthat, and so on

Yeah, the best thing to do is to start slow, and develop the skills at your own pace. With a double bass pattern, use a metronome and just play a simple 4 time, getting gradually quicker, this will boost your coordination a lot.
