Advice 1: Quit.
If no, then:
Advice 2: get your own set of drumsticks. Go to a music store, find what feels comfortable. Purchase them.
Advice 3: watch alot of people play. Videos are helpful, but seeing someone do it live (since I'm assuming you mean arcade) will be alot more effective.
Advice 4: Start finding your most comfortable speed (double tap bass pedal to change speed) I wouldn't go past 2x the first 10 tries.
Advice 5: DO NOT PLAY AUTO [HIHAT/BASS/CRASH/SCRATCH]  | |

Um, everything he said except for #1.
Also, you can sort songs in V4 by hitting Bass, then Green Tom while on the song select screen. | |

You can touch the constantly whored out songs lke Fat Lip or SEPTEMBER first, and then as you get better, you can move on to more kickass ones like Leaving All Behind or NEMESIS. | |

i havent played a V4 but 4x ~ 4.5x on any of the lower mixes is a good comfortable speed for me
I'd say once you get up to 40s in basic to start venturing into ADV charts | |

as for speed, I usually do about x3 or x4 | |
