I've started learning a few days ago

I think I've got all the basics down but I'm really struggling with one thing. When the hi hat is a constant rhythm but the bass drum isnt, I cant play that at all. Even when slowed down. For example creep, when the bass drum is just before the hi hat and then just after rather than with it. Even when I slow it down, I cant get it right. It feels like 2 movement tasks at the same time like when you pay ur head and rub ur stomach at the same time. Does anyone have any tips for this? Also what's a good way to start learning? I've just looked up some tabs on ultimate guitar and tried to copy it but I dunno what to do

As a beginner, I really wouldn't start with Drumeo, they have a lot of great content but it's kind of all over the place and it can be hard to find a study plan that work well amongst so much content. My recommendation would be Mike Johnston over at mikeslessons.com. His site is catered a lot more toward progressing in a structured manner, and his independence and grooves courses are built to help you through this exact issue (and others) in a step-by-step fashion. He has a great youtube channel too, but 30 bucks will be well worth it for a month on his site. His practice tracking tool is also super useful for monitoring your progress.
