Why do you want to keep your wrists still?  Who told you that?

Ok you can work your fulcrum too.

Pick up a stick.  Move your fulcrum to 4" from the bead.  With your 4 fingers squeeze up till your stick hits the underside of your forearm.  Basically start playing patterns like this- you don't even need a practice pad and it is a great workout for fingers and fulcrum, even forearm.

put a quarter on the table or your drum throne and tap it with your drumstick. Try to keep up with the quarter.
