Concentrate more on your timing & the feel of the piece and less time on twirling the sticks. Unless of course you are training to be a cheerleader. It will make you a better drummer.
And where's the other half of the 'duo'. Is he/she the one with the videocam?

Don't let my comments dissuade you - when I was 15/16 I was banging on the drums the same way you are - drove my mother nuts. But I also believe if someone had given me some solid advice I might actually have become one. Concentrate on your timing - here's a guy to watch - he has thousands of YT videos - this is not his best performance but it is a masterclass in timing.

Like any artistic endeavour - learn all the rules, and then rewrite them any way you want.
