Mainly I think it has to do with my left hand but check out this video to see what I'm doing wrong so you can offer some useful advice to correct the situation.

This is the overall breakdown of the Paradiddle. This lesson also gives other examples of how to play the paradiddle not only as a rudiment itself, but how to incorporate it into a beat or drum fill. Such examples can include - placing the 1st accent on the toms, or breaking it up over several toms along the kit.
