A question to drummers

Does anyone have advice how I could build up speed in my double kicks/suggestions on good techniques?

My boyfriend is a drummer, and he says since it's building up muscle, just practice practice practice.

Pretty much just preference, how you feel comfortable sitting. I like to lean back when I'm drumming, with my legs tucked just underneath me. I find I can get a pretty good speed going like that. And I drink a lot of caffeine based beverages leading up to it, so I end up getting the twitches. My leg goes nuts.
