Nice rpc! Definitely have the rudimental/corps influence going. EDIT: Just saw your post on RD!
Are you going to try for the Double Grid Paradiddle challenge Rick put up?
As a suggestion you may want to look into laminate pads, they are far more articulate and don't have the over-rebound of the gum rubber.

Not very long.maybe a year, if that. Developing finger speed is fairly easy because the fingers love to move fast (small joints, small levers, small muscles, high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber).
They have developed some incredibly effective methods to increasing speed and endurance with muscle training. That is training methods that are applied to other-then-drums. Things like HIIT, Pyramids, etc
Google around, you'll find LOTS of articles.
Mike Mangini has that finger stuff down real tight. Can also check out the various WFD guys, as they primarily use only fingers.
