Example of double stroke roll in songs

Subdivision by Rush

Walking on the Moon by The Police

Rooster by Alice In Chains

Just off the top of my head.
 
Here's the best advice I can give you:

Start practicing double strokes, paradiddles and all your other rudiments now, because in 10 years time when you have a pretty good idea about how much stuff you still need to learn (and how little you really know), you'll at least know that you put the time into developing the technical facility required to learn more advanced concepts. I've been playing 20+ years and still regret not pushing through the tedium and boredom I experienced with rudimental work because all the really cool stuff I want to do depends on abilities that just aren't quite good enough yet.
